Risk in Forex trading
Risk is defined as the chance or potential of losing
something of value. When most people think of risk, they
see it as something negative: when an investment has risks
attached, it’s something to stay away from.
However, the truth is that investment and risk are
inseparable. Even the safest investment types have some
form of risk attached to them. In investment terms, risk is
also defined as deviation from the expected outcome.
So why would an investor not just place his money in the
most risk-free environment? Simple: profit is often
commensurate to risk. A riskier investment will almost
always yield higher potential returns in a shorter time
frame than an investment with a low amount of risk.
How much risk can you take?
Before entering any investment, do your research about the
market. How much risk is involved? Government bonds will
be much less riskier than the forex market, but at the same
time, expect your profits to be realized in a longer time
frame.
Risk appetite is different for every individual. Determine
how much risk you’re willing to take and how much you’re
willing to lose.
Practice the correct risk management
You can minimize the amount of risk involved with your
investments through proper risk management. Even
something as simple as creating a trading plan takes away a
part of the uncertainty when trading, especially in an
inherently risky market like the forex market. Without risk
management, you’re basically gambling.
The best traders know how to minimize risks, and that gives
them an edge over those who aren’t aware of the risks of
the market.
