If you’re trading an account size:
Less than £500:
LOT SIZE – 0.01 with a MAX LOT SIZE OF 0.03 AT ANY GIVEN TIME - You need to pick your trades and pick your entries carefully. Your risk needs to be low, however, a 0.01 lot size will give you flexibility when the market goes against you.
£500 – 1000:
LOT SIZE – 0.02-0.03 with a MAX LOT SIZE OF 0.06 AT ANY GIVEN TIME – You need to pick your trades and pick your entries carefully. Your risk needs to be low, however, a 0.02-0.03 lot size will give you flexibility when the market goes against you. Split your entries and take partial profits along the way until your target is reached. E.g Enter 0.03, when you reach 10-15pips take 0.02 in profit and set the stop to entry, let 0.01 run to the target with the trade protected.
£1000 – 1500
LOT SIZE 0.05-0.07 with a MAX LOTS SIZE OF 0.10 AT ANY GIVEN TIME - You need to pick your trades and pick your entries carefully. Split your entries and take partial profits along the way until your target is reached. E.g Enter 0.05, when you reach 10-15pips take 0.03 in profit and set the stop to entry, let 0.02 run to the target with the trade protected.
£2000+
LOT SIZE 0.05 – 0.15 with a MAX LOT SIZE OF 0.17 AT ANY GIVEN TIME - . Split your entries and take partial profits along the way until your target is reached. E.g Enter 0.07, when you reach 10-15pips take 0.05 in profit and set the stop to entry, let 0.02 run to the target with the trade protected.
Too many traders get stopped out and blow accounts because their lot sizes are too big. A small reversal on the pair and panic sets in because a high percentage of the account is in drawdown. They take the loss and the market ends up going their way in the end. This is not the way to trade! You will make money but ultimately you will face huge losses on your account. The market is designed to play with your emotions and your greed, you need to use this to your advantage. The only way to protect yourself is money and risk management, it’s a fundamental tool and skill required to trade.
