Margin Calls
Receiving a margin call is universally disliked by us all!
In this video, Mat Barnes, one of our trainers here at Safety in the Market takes a look at What a Margin call is, and the three options you have should you receive one.
He then goes on to explain some sage advice from WD Gann in regards to Margin Calls.
We strongly recommend to all of our students that they only ever risk a maximum 10% of their trading capital on any one trade. Many of our new students start with as little as 2.5% – 5% risk on their trades, while they are learning to trade and build their skills and confidence as a Trader.
It’s up to you to assess and decide the amount of dollars you want to risk on a trade – however we suggest building this into the parameters set out in your Trading Plan.
Having a Trading Plan in place will also help you to reduce the likelihood of receiving a margin call.
Don’t have a trading plan yet? Or maybe you have one but yours needs a bit of a tweak?
Then this is something we cover further in our new ‘Trading Plan Tune Up’ short course.
Our Trading Plan Tune Up is just what you need!
This Trading Plan Tune Up has been created based on the underlying principles we teach here at Safety in the Market. Broken down into bite sized modules, in this three hour online introductory course, here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why it’s so important to have a Trading Plan and how it will give you the focus, clarity and confidence you need to be able to escalate your trading returns;
- We will guide you through the steps to develop your own effective Trading Plan and you’ll be privy to the exact Trading Plan our students use.
- You’ll learn why the Reward to Risk Ratio of your trades is so important, how to calculate it and how to use it to give you the exact entry and exit points of your trades;
- You’ll learn how our students aim for, and achieve 10 to 1 or greater returns on their trades – safely, while using the market’s money and protecting their capital.
As an extra bonus, we will introduce you to the basics of Price Forecasting (yes it is possible!)
