he is soo right. i started 3 months ago with a $3000 USD account. i tried to be the trader i thought i had to be and lost it all. I am best at scalping and love it, so now i just do that and with just a $1000 USD account now have it up to 5 grand in just a month.
Thank you for all your wonderful help and tips Edward, your the man!
kind regards

It depends on your trading style scalping or intraday...and what pair you traded.. how many pips SL will be placed... if intraday should take Risk:Reward ratio at least 1:3 or 1:5

Hello,
I'm new to trading forex and hope to quit my job since forex is the most profitable business which i have encounter. However i like to start trading with only USD $3000 and i heard that its best only to risk 3 - 4% of my account per trade. But if that is so, do my take profit amount always have to be greater than my stop loss amount? Because i can only effort to lose $70 - $100 per trade if i follow the 3 - 4 % rule. Hope you could help me with this :)

Best regards,
Jeff
