Understand your potential risk and reward

When you are placing a deal there is a chance that you will be wrong and the market will move against you. It's a good idea when going into each trade to know your potential risk, and to be aware of any exit levels either to bank a profit, or to cut a loss. There are a host of things you can rely on, but some of the most important points are below:

  1. Know your risks and have an understanding of the wider market. If there is a big macro economic data release or an important political event it's important to understand this could effect the market. Keep an eye on our Morning Call to keep up to date with the market news.

  2. Think about setting stops or guaranteed stops on your trade. A number of different options are available on the IG deal ticket, including advanced stop options which trail behind the market if it moves in your favor. 

  3. Not every trade you place will be a winning trade. Learn to take losses when the market moves against you, and if you think the market is going to continue to move further against you it's financially better to book a loss on the current trade and re-enter the market when it's at a better level. 

  4. Avoid emotional trading - reacting badly to a loss is just as bad as reacting euphorically to a winning trade. Some people also trade worse if they are tired or stressed, or have other things going on in their day to day lives. 

  5. Don't place a deal just because other traders are as well. Know your own risk and make a trade plan accordingly.

    • Counter Fire is poised to redefine the gaming industry with its innovative blend of competitive gameplay and blockchain technology. The game offers multiple modes, including team-based matches of quads, duos, and solos along with solo missions, with deep customization options and dynamic battle scenarios. While the core gameplay of Counter Fire is similar to PUBG, a battle-royal where the last-man or last-team standing wins in a survival gameplay, users earn while playing Counter Fires. The project has been buzzing the ecosystem as the airdrop claim went live today so users can claim their $CEC and await listing on 9th Sept. While gamers continue to claim their tokens, some analysts have start speculating that the project will redefine the gaming landscape citing the project partnership with likes of YoubiCapital, HASHKEY, KERNEL ventures and many more and the fact that the project raised over $5 million as the base for their argument. The project partnership with Bitget could also be a reason it continues to gain such exposure as players can only claim their token to the exchange. Though, as players claim their token to the exchange, they could benefit some reward from the 1 million $CEC reward pool. I still think many exchanges should list the token so gamers can have many choices.
    • Hi @feirb1, Thank you for your post. Please note that we offer T-Bills for trading on leveraged accounts. By trading these, you will be speculating on the price movements. This means that, when trading, you´ll never take ownership of an actual t-bill. Instead, you´ll take a position on the market either rising in value or falling. Thanks, KoketsoIG
