Risk Management and Account Security
Setting Stop Losses and Take Profits
Effective risk control is vital. Use stop loss to cap losses per trade, ideally risking no more than 1-2% of your account balance. Calculate position size based on stop loss distance and account equity. Take profit targets lock in gains automatically once reached. Consider trailing stops to secure profit as the market moves favorably. XM MT5 calculates risk-reward ratios to assist in setting these levels for Malaysian traders.
| Risk Management Tool | Function | Recommended Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Stop Loss | Limits loss per trade | Every trade |
| Take Profit | Secures profits | Most trades |
| Trailing Stop | Follows price movements | Trending markets |
| Position Sizing | Controls risk exposure | 1-2% per trade |
