• What's the best way to manage risk capitol in the Foreign Exchange market?
|
A little more detail.
I've traded - unsuccessfully - in the stock market for a strong while. After nearly two years of trading, I was down about 17% over the period (a margin account with 25 to 50 per cent leverage, by SEC regulations). There were a couple of really good times, but there were more times were I couldn't help pulling my short, irregular hair out.
I decided that the commodities markets were a little too, well, newsy for me and I backed off for about 3 months. Now, I've delegated the remaining capitol to the currency exchange markets for all of the obvious reasons. I find that these markets play to the news that everyone hears. Japan's earthquakes, the U.S. QE2 announcement, Portugal's undergoing: These things we here on the radio. And the market moves quickly; much faster than any security, and worse still with, say, 50 to 1 leverage.
Now, I've read books. Following Market Wizards is probably by far the easiest way to stand on the shoulders of giants. In specifically this example, there are a couple of interviews where Ph.D level mathematicians, scholars, ex-military and the most successful of traders alike disagree on the subject of how much risk is too much risk.
A no-tolerance hundred-millionaire says to stuff emotion and make everything a 1% bet, setting stops at 1%, trailing stops at 1%, and taking at 1%.
A mathematician says that, based on linear curve, the best bet is a 2% risk, because, after such risk, reward becomes the underweight.
Most MT4 experts with risk built into them seem to prefer 2.5%.
My question is: If you're a trader that follows these people and methods, and simply the best risk strategy must be betting between 0.5% and 3%, then of what are you betting a percent? Each point? Account equity? Balance? Margin?

• Have you made profit in foreign markets?
|
Like say you have a beaten blue chip stock in the U.S. stock market.
Special news comes out and the stock soars. Since you think the foreign markets follow the U.S. you then buy that same stock in a foreign market first thing when it opens (say the Berlin stock exchange), expecting it to perform similarly. So, have you made gains this way?
But things could change in the time between the markets. How would they adjust the price if semi bad news came out ?
