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
