Money management

Taking into account the trading conditions and the level of risk of the trading system signals, it is necessary to strictly follow the rules of money management. The first thing that comes to the forefront is the optimal ratio of the volume of trading positions to the sum of operating capital. The safest trading regime is the use of contracts with the initial value. After building up the funds in your trading account, the risk level can be raised to the bar of 3% of the amount of operating capital.
