Effective risk management is vital in Forex trading. One key strategy is using the 1-2% rule, risking no more than 1-2% of your trading capital per trade. Set stop-loss orders to limit losses and use proper position sizing based on account size and risk tolerance. Diversifying trades and maintaining a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2 also helps manage risks.

Risk management is essential in Forex trading. A common rule is to risk no more than 1-2% of your capital per trade. Use stop losses to limit potential losses and position sizing to control exposure. Consider risk-reward ratios, aiming for at least 1:2. Always evaluate market conditions and adjust risk accordingly.

To control risks, you can also use a small leverage, which will not allow you to open orders with large lots and will minimize your possible losses in case of unsuccessful trades.
