Hi,

I just like to know how much other people risking their account per week?

Sorry for my poor english.

Hey Yacob

I don't know about per week, but I never risk more than 2% per trade and most of the time less than that.

I normally risk around 10% worth of my account in most times. However I am trying to cut short this high levels of risks involved in my investment.

My trading philosophy is very simple. I risk money that I can afford to lose and usually I will only risk 50% of that sum and not the whole sum at one go.

Some times I use risk more than 30% while trading. In that type of situation I will be in fear until I get some good return from it. But taking risk in trading is important to get some good profit.

You'll risk 50% of your capital on 1 trade? Wow.

That's some serious risk or faith in your system.

Only 50%? I usually go at least 80% on a trade. I mean, c'mon thats how you make the big bucks. Just hopefully that first trade or two is not a loser, than you screwed.

You'd be better off going here:


At least there, they will give you free drink and you'll be surronded by pretty woman before they take your money.

Risking that much is a recipe for disaster.

Woah 50%?! Geeze. 30% is quite a bit too. vinodg, you're referring to a given week and not a single trade right? As for me I treat each day individually so I don't have a set number for the week. My theory is this: The market doesn't care if i just lost a certain percentage of my account, so unless it's for psychological recuperation or reassessing my system's reliability, I wouldn't see a point in halting my for the remainder of the week simply because I'm down. But that's just me.
