How to Manage Multiple Positions Without Stress

Managing one trade is easy; managing five is a business. Learn how to track your total risk exposure and correlation across multiple markets.

01

Calculate Total Account Risk

Ensure your total risk (the sum of all stops) does not exceed 5% of your account. Individual trades should still be 1% or less.
02

Check Correlation

If you are long EUR/USD and long GBP/USD, you are effectively double-exposed to the US Dollar. Treat them as one large position.
03

Use a Trade Journal

Log every entry and exit immediately. This keeps you focused on the plan rather than the floating profit/loss.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • /Over-exposure to a single currency
  • /Getting overwhelmed by multiple alerts
