We know forex tradingsuccessful is not so easy. According to the statistics, only 5% of total traders might survive in forex market and make consistent profits. In order to succeed in forex trading, traders need to learn everything about forex trading and equip themselves with solid forex knowledge and develop their forex trading skills. Besides, traders can learn some forex tips from forex experts.
Well, what is the secret for being a successful forex trader? From my perspective, a successful forex trader needs to have good tradingstrategies, right mindset in forex trading and proper money management. In this article, I would like to discuss some good money managementstrategies that traders need in forex trading.
What is money management in forex trading?

As this forex term says, money management in forex trading is all about how traders should manage their own money well in forex trading. First of all, a golden rule in forex investing that I would like to share is traders should only invest the money that they can afford to lose in forex trading. Some beginner traders might find it confused when deciding how much money to put in their forex tradingaccounts for the first time. Well, it really depends on the individuals, including their expectation to thefuture forex market, their tradingstrategies, their risk tolerance level and so on. The bottom line is even if traders lose the entire sum of money that they had invested in their forex trading accounts, their lifestyle would not be affected much.
Moreover, to have a good money management, traders need to plan how much money they would spend on each trade to prevent traders from overtrading and lose all the money in forex accounts.That means, traders should use only a fixed percentage of their capital for each trade. For example, suppose a trader have $100,000 in his trading account. My advice is to use 2% to 3% for each trade maximum. If the trader has decided to use 2% as well. The maximum risk he can take for his first trade will be $2000 ($100,000 x 2%), which is a relatively low risk comparing risking all of his money in one forex trade.
What’s more, traders need to use stop-loss orders and other risk management tools to limit their risk. In forex money management, it is important to take measures to protect traders’ trading accounts according to their risk tolerance level since the forex market is very volatile and especially forex beginners can easily get wiped out of their forex trading accounts. Therefore, when trading forex, traders need to monitor the forex charts, decide where to place the entry price, the stop loss and the profit target, and determine the distance between the entry price and the stop loss and so on.
