Despite the high probabilities for making huge profits, the market comes with the risk factor attached. A trader should know how to efficiently tackle the risks in order to make profits consistently. This is where forex education plays a key role. ‘Risk management’ is one of the crucial topics in forex education. Without knowing how to manage risks, it is impossible for the trader to sustain in the trade world.  • Before you start to trade, draw a risk management plan to safeguard your investments. Therefore, even if you lose the trade, you will have a backup plan to avoid financial devastation. So, what are the risks in forex trading? 

  3. Price fluctuations of currency pairs - This will make a trade difficult as the price may either go deep down or skyrocket to a top high   • Low liquidity in the forex market - Forex market is usually a high liquidity market; but at times low liquidity can happen, where the trader cannot immediately sell or buy an asset to avoid loss • Increase or decrease in interest rates - At times, the interest rates may either increase or decrease in the forex market, affecting the volatility.  • Impact of trading using leverage - When a trader trade’s using leverage, there are chances for him to forget the total amount that is at risk, as the investing amount is small. This can magnify both profits and losses. • Now that you are aware of some of the major risk types in forex trading, let us now see how to smartly manage these risks.

  4. 5 Tips to Manage Risks in Forex Trading • Here are 5 practical tips or techniques to manage risks in forex trading. • Start trading with a demo account • If you are trading for the first time, open a demo account and practice trade techniques using virtual money. Demo trade account is no different from a real trade account in any manner. You won't be investing real money in a demo account. This will help you learn diverse trade techniques without the fear of losing any real money. There are no risks when you trade using a demo account. After continuous practices, once you are confident about your trade skills, you can open a real trade account with a suitable forex broker. Most brokers offer demo trade accounts to beginner traders.  

  5. 2. Devise a trade plan  • Every trader should know the importance of a trade plan. Before beginning a trade, a trader should sort out his trading needs and goals, and formulate a relevant trade plan to achieve the goal. Having a trade plan will help the trader trade in an organized manner. A trade plan will help the trader act in a disciplined way. Traders can also keep a personal trade book to note down the results of each trade.  3. Follow stop-loss & limit orders • Traders should have a firm decision about their entry and exit positions before they begin a trade. This can be facilitated by setting stop-loss orders and trade limits. Limit orders will automatically close the trade when the price reaches a specific level. This specific level will be chosen by the trader. Therefore, when the prices go down, the trader can prevent losses by following risk management techniques such as stop loss and limit orders. 

  6. 4. Use leverage smartly   • Leverage is one of the beneficial and popularly used trading techniques among traders. When a trader trade’s using leverage, he will borrow a major amount of money from the broker, and invest only a small amount of his own in the trade. This will help him engage in large volumes of trade. But leverage can magnify both profits and losses. If you gain profitable returns, you will have made more money. And, if you have lost, you will be in a huge debt, as you owe the broker the borrowed money. Therefore, the trader should analyse the market and use leverage in a smart manner to get the benefits out of it.  5. Avoid acting emotionally • Managing emotions while trading can be challenging for new traders. A success can trigger the trader to make more investments and end up in huge losses. Therefore, stick to your trade plan no matter what you gain. Indulge in market analysis, follow the new trends, and make your investment decisions accordingly. Do not let your emotions influence your trade decisions. 

  7. Understand the nature of the forex market, be thorough in important trade concepts and follow the market trends regularly to stay updated about what’s going on in the forex market. Get familiar with useful technical indicators, charts and tools to analyse the price movements and make trades accordingly.
