The central question every trader must ask themselves is: How much risk am I willing to take?
Consider how much capital you can afford to invest without impacting your essential living expenses. Remember, trading in Forex can lead to significant gains, but it can also result in losses.
Establish clear and realistic trading objectives. What are you hoping to achieve through your Forex trading? Are you looking for short-term gains or long-term growth? Your risk tolerance should be aligned with your objectives. Short-term traders might accept higher volatility and risk for quick gains, while long-term investors might be more cautious, focusing on sustainable growth.
For example, I have been using an EA for the EURUSD pair for over a year, and its maximum drawdown (DD) has been 21%. This level of drawdown feels quite stable to me. Additionally, I use other types of EAs to diversify and increase my profits. Of course, I am willing to take on this level of risk. So, it's a matter of choice—how much risk are you willing to take?

Hi Fu7Ke,
Your topic line is very crucial to the overall success of any Trader. There are two primary reasons for Investments, namely (1) Cashflow and (2) Capital Gain.
Regardless of one's investment purpose, success in the Forex Market requires a good knowledge of Risk Management. Any strategy that can guarantee a low drawdown between 10 - 25% and a significant Profit Factor of 1.5 and above is worth considering. A daily return on Investment of at least 1% daily and 20% Monthly is a deal!
