Money management is a vital element of trading. When applied to a high risk, high return form of investing such as binary options, it becomes even more important. Here, we explain the basic concept of money management, before expanding on the subject further, and exploring wider money strategy.
Money Management
Money management and risk control are key for successful trading. When I say key what I mean is that money management, as a form of risk control, is how you protect yourself from yourself, how you eliminate (to the extent you can) fear and greed, how you ensure you never wipe yourself out of the market and can always come back to trade again.
It is the process of managing your total investing capital. Most people will understand that risking the entire sum in one trade is a bad idea. Likewise, many people will understand why ‘portfolio’ management includes allocation and diversification elements. Similar principles apply when managing a binary options bankroll.
Beyond those more obvious benefits however, are the ways it provides more subtle help for traders. The ability to make decisions with more clarity, the security of knowing there will be money to trade with in future and the knowledge that growth will lead to further growth without any increased risk or planning.
There are many ways to do it. Money management – true money management – is a method to control risk while allowing you the freedom to trade, and for profitable positions to make as much money as they can.
Systems
While it’s important to set personal rules (e.g., trade only with the trend, no more than five trades per day) and attainable short-term goals (e.g., achieve an ITM percentage of 60% or higher and Masaniello Money Management.), which may differ from those of other traders, I feel a big mistake is to set a monetary goal that must be met by a certain date or, worse yet, every single day.
It is very difficult to become emotionally detached from your trading when certain profit goals are wrongly taking priority. I used profit goals when I first began trading, and I found that they were nothing but a distraction that led me to make bad trading decisions and losses I could have avoided.
