Forex Leverage: 90% Of Beginners Make This Mistake When Trading With Margin...

I’m Taking notes right now , my brain hurts but I get every bit of what your saying a Big thank you for these lessons. 🙏🏼

Always the best teacher who explains in simple terminology and maths🎉🎉❤

Very well explained thank you

I have been searching all day to understand this thank you so much you are a awesome person to explain this so simply god bless you and thank you>

have been 100% mentored by this channel

That's exactly what I'm feeling!

Tbh, the video confuses the hell out of me. I tried to work this out as an equation and ended up with this. If wrong, please let me know. Oddly, it seems that the leverage being used doesn't really matter.

Risk% = % of equity to risk per trade
$Equity = margin, non-leverage capital
SL-pips = stop-loss in pips
(1/10k) = fractional version of one pip

[(Risk% x $Equity) / SL-pips] / (1/10k) = Trade size --> First example: [(2% x $100) / 5] / (1/10k) = $4k position size

Thank u so much for this video i recently switched over from trading on pocketoption and have been trying it out on trading view using oanda and have had much difficulties but this helps alot thanks man

I'm still fucking confused AF maybe I am dumb but man all these things to keep in mind when putting in a simple trade ...god damn, I'd need to sit next to someone for this I think LOL.

What if I wanted to risk $5 for a 5pips stop-loss, I guess that should work if the other conditions are met?

Please don't mindy question, I'm a biginner 😅

if I am trading stock, can I learn this too??

I can't understand this at all. This is the only thing preventing me from trading on an actual, legit platform. In the meantime, Olymp Trade is freaking simple. $100 account? Risk $3. FREAKIN' SIMPLE AS THAT.
There's no such thing as margin, free margin, and whatever other type of margin exists. No ask price, no bid price. SIMPLE.

Can u explain this for an account that has 9.98 in it

Is this case applicable on broekrs like oanda where it is not compulsory to trade in lots?

Mine is a new account I created 2 days ago with 12usd but can't place a trade. They keep saying insufficient money. Lot size, 0.02, 1:2 and 2pips stop loss. please help

Bro, you're a brilliant teacher

Math will keep me from success.... I am so confused.

Yay or Nay? Please correct me if I'm wrong:

10,000 units = $1.00/pip
1,000 units = $0.10/pip
(every 100 units = 1 penny)

For a 5 pip SL to equal $10 risk requires 20,000 units.
MATH: $10 / 5 pips = $2.00/pip = 200 pennies = 20,000 units

For a 50 pip SL to equal $10 risk requires 2,000 units.
MATH: $10 / 50 pips = $0.20/pip = 20 pennies = 2,000 units

This was a great video. I had to watch it a couple times like you advised, but wow, never would have thought about this as a beginner...

This is great !💪👍

i have a 50 k demo account with 50:1 leverage
i placed 3 trades on tradingview worth around 110,000 units, risking 1% on each trade. in the positions section that shows details about ur trades i seen two of the trades with a margin of around 2,000 and 3,000. the third one had a margin of 24,000. could anyone explain why that might happen and what it means ?

complicated explanation...

this is so bad, all of the bots typing in comments is unbeliavable

Sir if your videos have subtitles it would be very good for us

Question: Does it mean that if I lose more pips than the units that I have available for each Lot, will the trade stop before we can even get to the risked amount?

how can i come off margin ? i want to trade the whole 100 pounds

This is why I shy away from forex as a beginner trader I don’t understand (any) of this

I like math, for me what helped me out is finding the equation, pretty simple.
Risk/pip=amount per single pip then just see how many contracts of micro mini or Standard fit into that.
Example: 21$ risk and 7 pip risk
²¹/⁷= 3$ per pip.
Mini = 10,000 =1$ per pip so .
$3/1 = 3
3 mini = 30,000
Hope it helps

I just don’t understand why do you have to wait when you buy an order then wait until the pips go down???

well explained thanks

what if you are hedging...2 trades in the opposite direction?

Thanks to you i now understand and have no confusion. 🙏

how to trade perfect timing . i am not catch out my perfect timing ???????????

For the first trade you explained would it work with a 10 pip stop loss on $10 or would you need to change the risk to $5

Hi sir, I wanna say that your proficiency in math & equation is incredible & remarkable. Thanks

Thanks you finally
Others don't know how to explain well as you did in the vid
Thanks again

I have been very frustrated with margins, and feel kind of dumb for not really understanding it. Years of practice trading with Euro leverage doesn't mean jack. The CFTC limits are garbage.

made it to the end

made it to the end

Thanks man your explanation is simply and much easier to understand 🙏🙏

so im stupid lol

so does this mean we have to up our leverage to have more buying power?

Thank you so much 😊

If I can't buy with not enough funds why i can sell explain please

Im having difficulty getting approved for leverage at all. It seems really hard to get for forex. Im on IBKR. Does anyone have some tips that could increase my chances of getting approved? Do I need to deposit more money into my account?

So, if I'm trading with 1000.00, I'll have 100k of buying power

Thank you
