The first thing I am going to tell you are the mistakes that traders make when averaging a position... Note: this article only applies to operators without Stop loss and in isolated margin mode... Averaging infinitely: Averaging a position can save you from an unnecessary loss, but if you keep putting more and more capital into a losing position, you could suffer a considerable loss... Averaging with an amount smaller than the initial position: If your initial position is $100 and then you add a second position of $50, the initial position will have more weight than the second, therefore, the average purchase or sale price will not change much...
Do You Like to Trade Without a Stop Loss...? Let me explain the correct way to do it...!
What you should never do if you like to trade without a Stop Loss is to put all your capital into a single trade... It is recommended that you conduct each trade with ONE or TWO percent of your total capital... (1% or 2%)... And that you trade in isolated margin mode... Leverage can be variable depending on the volatility of the asset you are trading... For example, with a leverage of 40X or 50X, it is relatively quick to achieve an ROI of 200% or 300%... This means a risk/benefit ratio of 2 to 1 in the first case and 3 to 1 in the second case...
Why You Shouldn't Be Constantly Changing Your Leverage...?
Well, it's very simple, I will be clear and brief... If you are trading, for example, at 5X, and you have a risk/reward ratio of two to one, meaning that when you lose, you lose $10 and when you win, you win $20... Let's suppose you won five trades in a row, meaning you earned $100, and then at that moment you decide to increase your leverage to 10X with the same position size, which means you will now win $40 when you win and lose $20 when you lose... If your next five trades go wrong, you will have lost the $100 you earned and will be back where you started...
