there is nothing 100% in Forex trading and i have seen so many times to fail most powerful money management. its the sad reality.
Hi, I place trades by averaging in to positions at pre determined Fib lines, but my agreed entry position are set against my stop (hard Stop) which would be .5% lose of my over all balance.
Now, before the trade hits my target, i may take profit from one or several entry points , and if the trade moves back to a earlier pre determined Fib line i would re-enter the trade.but still my lose on that trade is .5% less any profit i take.
This all sounds great, BUT if you trade four times in a day and you lose four trade in a row you are possible down 2%
So your strategy /edge MUST give you 75% + v 25% -
So yes, Money Management is Key to keep you in afloat , but without a proven strategy/edge
you will drown. (Trust me)

The most important underlying principle of money management is to preserve the trading capital and your profits. Traders can lose all their profits in a single trade if they ignore money management. As Warren Buffett says, There are two rules for successful trading:
Rule no 1: Never lose money.
Rule no 2: Never forget rule no. 1.
Rule no 1: Never lose money.
Rule no 2: Never forget rule no. 1.
@FahadMd I agree, money management is important to become a profitable trader. All traders should take some steps to minimise losses:
1) Use stop loss and take profit.
2) Assign a reward risk ratio to all your trades
3) Risk only a small percentage of your capital on a single trade.
4) Risk money which you can afford to lose.

Yes, basic money management is important in Forex trading. It will help you get more of a trading advantage and lessen the stress of losing several trades in a row. Money management is important in any type of trading, but it is especially crucial in Forex trading because of the high volatility of the market.
Money management is something that most traders pass by word of mouth, but rarely practice in real life. The reason is simple: Like eating healthy and staying healthy, managing money can seem like a strenuous, unpleasant activity. It forces traders to constantly monitor their positions and take necessary losses, which few are willing to do.
