Forex trading education - The Integration Rule
Proper leverage+statistical information = guaranteed Victory
In order to achieve minimal risk, you need to divide your portfolio into many smaller portions. It can also be said in another way: it is forbidden to risk more than 2-3 percent of the portfolio on one transaction. What does this mean? If i open a minimal portfolio of 10,000 USD, I don't risk more than 200-300 USD in one transaction. How do i do this? I set a stop-loss order at a distance of 200-300 pips. And why? When you flip a coin, you can get sequences of heads or tails. It is not one time heads one time tails. It can be: five time tails and three times heads.
When we add up the results, it comes out to 50-50.
Statistics is on our side, when there are many transactions. And as we said, out of 20 flips, the coin can land 13 times on heads and 7 times on tails, but there is no need to worry - it will balance out later. What can we do, statistics is an exact science. Therefore it is forbidden to arrive at a situation in which you have no many left for trading because then the game will end and the whole theory which i am teaching you is discounted.
What is the chance that my son, on the way to school, will lose 20 times in a row or that i will flip a coin 20 times and it will land on heads? The answer: one half to the 20th power, in other words, 1 in a million. The chance that you will lose 20 times in a row, even if you are a 5 years old child, is one in a million.
And what is the chance that i will lose 30 times in a row? One in Billion.
It will never happen, you will never be able to erase your entire portfolio. Statistics is on your side.
So never forget the rule: don't risk in one deal more than 2-3 percent, so that if you lose in a few transactions in a row, nothing happened, you have enough money to continue trading and eventually the account will balance itself out.
