Despite a large amount of capital in the FOREX market, it is important to remember that it is not impossible to lose money during speculative operations. Where there is a potential for earning, there is always a risk of losing part or all of the investment capital. Investing in currencies is not an exception to this rule. For the trader to earn, they must take the risk of loss. The limits of a trader's risk, however, must be determined in advance. They should never risk all or the majority of their trading capital at once. Risk should only be taken on portions of the trade that they are certain will not result in catastrophic consequences for their trading accounts, resulting in their inability to continue trading.

In trading, it’s essential to determine the limits of your risk before entering any position. Setting clear boundaries helps you protect your capital and avoid emotional decisions. By deciding in advance how much you are willing to lose, you remove uncertainty and create discipline. Tools like stop-loss orders or predefined percentage risk per trade can help enforce these limits. Without proper risk management, even a good strategy can lead to heavy losses. Successful traders think in terms of probabilities, not certainties, and risk control ensures survival during losing streaks. Knowing your limits also allows you to plan realistic position sizes and protect long-term growth. In short, setting risk boundaries is the foundation of consistent and sustainable trading.
