One newb takes a course in driving before he ever gets inside the vehicle. He probably makes it to the subsequent town too, perhaps after a few wrong turns, perhaps with a pair scratches on the paintwork, perhaps a little late, but he arrives in the final analysis. But the other noob jumps straight in the automobile with no tuition, heads for the 1st road that he sees and ends up either in the wrong town or more likely, in the ditch.

And remember, that was the same vehicle. In the same way we are able to take the same currency exchange system, give it to 3 different traders, and see 3 different results. Risk management is what’s most inclined to preclude us from finishing up in the ditch. Say you have a system that makes an average of 50 pips profit on winning trades and thirty pips loss on losing trades, including the spread. Around 50% of its trades are winners. It should make profits in the long run. However, if you start out thinking you have a 50% likelihood of success so that you can risk half of your funds on each trade, you would be making a massive mistake. 50% winners does not necessarily mean that each loss will be followed by a win and vice versa. Or you might have five losses followed by a win followed by another five losses. Later, naturally, it would even up and you would have a run where there were more wins; but if you were placing 50% or maybe twenty percent of your account balance on each trade, you’d be wiped out long before the wins started coming in. A better risk in this situation would be five percent or even 2 percent. At 10% the trader would probably still be wiped out at some point. You can see from this tract why it is important to take a currency trading tutorial of some kind before you start trading.
