Frequently asked questions
What is a sensible risk percentage?
Many risk-managed approaches use 1%–2% of account balance per trade. The right number depends on your strategy, win rate, and tolerance.
Why do I need the pip value?
Risk in cash = stop-loss pips × pip value × lot size. The pip value ties pips to your account currency so the maths balances.
