Part III. Money Management Secrets / Chapter 2. Anti-Martingale Strategy

In addition to the Martingale strategy described in the previous section, there is also the Anti-Martingale strategy, which works as follows. We double the bet (lot size) with each successful trade and reset the bet to the minimum allowed with each unsuccessful trade.

Let's consider a simple example. We open a position with 8 mini lots and close it with a loss. Following the Anti-Martingale strategy, we reset the "bet" and open a trade with 1 mini lot. If the trade is unsuccessful, we remain with the same 1 mini lot, and if the trade is profitable, we open a position with a doubled lot size and continue trading according to the described scheme.

Interestingly, the Anti-Martingale strategy gained popularity specifically in financial markets. Many traders incorporate this strategy into their existing trading systems to improve their capital management scheme. This approach often leads to significant improvements in the performance of the trading system.

It is recommended for novice traders to use this strategy only after creating their own mechanical trading system. Otherwise, following the rules of the strategy can be quite challenging, as the emotional aspect of trading often outweighs the predefined mathematical algorithm.

Part III. Secrets of money management / Chapter 3. Postulates of money management

No serious organization allows itself to waste money left and right. One means of achieving an organization's goals is to minimize production costs as much as possible. In other words, any organization develops capital management rules for itself. As is well known, large companies have more protection against losses compared to small private investors. Therefore, an internet trader, more than anyone else, must establish capital management principles for themselves and adhere to them unquestionably.

The psychology of human beings is such that when they have a certain sum of money, they either want to spend it quickly or multiply it rapidly. Neither of these approaches ultimately leads to capital growth, as poor money management can only result in bankruptcy. It is possible to live from paycheck to paycheck, as many Russians do. However, if you are reading the materials on this website, you are likely seeking an answer to how to break free from the cycle of the workweek. Therefore, the first rule on this path should be to adhere to the following principles:

• When trading on the Forex market, do not use more than 10-15% of your available capital to open positions. Opening positions with a larger sum puts you at risk of receiving a margin call before the price moves in your desired direction.
• Always set a stop-loss level and, if possible, a take-profit level when opening a position. This approach reflects the systematic and disciplined nature of trading, which is key to success in financial markets. The stop-loss level should not exceed 5% of the trader's available capital.
• It is not recommended to open positions on more than 5 different currency pairs since it is known that a person's attention can effectively handle no more than 4-6 objects simultaneously.
• Diversify risks and do not open positions simultaneously on currencies that have a high degree of correlation. This approach can have a devastating impact on your deposit.
• With the appropriate level of preparation, it is advisable to trade in multiple financial markets simultaneously, conducting operations not only with currency but also with stocks, futures, options, and precious metals. This will further diversify your risks since it is known that "you should not put all your eggs in one basket."
• Some countries' currencies are highly dependent on the export of certain commodities, making them commodity currencies. Therefore, in trading, it is necessary to take this fact into account and use it to your advantage. It is not advisable to open identical positions on correlated trading instruments.

We have listed the main principles of capital management, but each of you is entitled to develop your own principles that suit your character and temperament. Regardless of the set of principles you use in trading, one thing remains true—their importance in Forex trading
