Stops that are too tight are a surefire method of losing money. The more volatile the market is, the farther away a stop must be for it to be effective. Never place it at or within a whole number, trendline, moving average, high or low of the day or week, or any significant support or resistance level showing on either the time frame you are looking at or a higher one. It is best to place a stop outside these levels—-and not just outside of them but with some breathing space as well. [2003] - Marcel Link

First I will take an overall technical survey of the market and pick the currency pairs that have retraced to attractive levels for entry in order to participate in a medium-term trend. I determine if my initial technical view for that pair coincides with my fundamental view on the dollar as well as my view on how upcoming U.S. releases may impact trading for the day.

If I am left with two equally compelling trade ideas, I will choose the one with a positive interest rate differential. [2009] - Kathy Lien

In a position trade--or any trade--you should be risking only a small percentage of your overall risk capital. For professionals this may be as little as 0.5 to 1 percent. For beginners, who are often undercapitalized by definition, it should never be over 5 percent and preferably should be closer to 2 percent. [2010] - Jay Norris
