Description
Most trading accounts are not lost to bad analysis. They are lost to positions that are too big, stops that move and losing streaks nobody planned for. This free course gives you the risk rules professionals use: how much to risk per trade, how to calculate your lot size for forex, gold and indices, where to put a stop loss, how reward-to-risk and win rate work together, and how to set loss limits and keep a journal. Trading CFDs involves significant risk of loss. This course is education, not investment advice.
