👩‍👧 You can have only 40% winning trades and still stay consistently profitable. The key is the risk-to-reward ratio.

A core rule professional traders follow:

❌ Never enter a trade unless your take-profit is at least twice as far as your stop-loss.

Before entering a trade, use the LiteFinance charting tools, mark the key levels, and assess the setup objectively. If the risk-to-reward ratio is below 1:2, skip the trade.

⚠️ A margin call is a warning that you don't have enough funds to maintain your open positions.

📉 When this happens, you need to either add funds to your account or close some losing trades. Otherwise, your positions will be stopped out, meaning the broker will automatically close them. Common causes include overtrading, excessive leverage, and accumulating losses.

💸 Monitor your margin level and always follow risk management rules.

🔔 With LiteFinance, you can track your margin level in real time and receive timely notifications. Learn more about a margin call in our latest article.

👀 It's Monday morning. You open your terminal and see the market has moved against your short after the weekend news. That's what happens when risk isn't managed properly.

📉 Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which it is actually executed. It usually occurs due to volatility, low liquidity, and execution delays. Sometimes it works in your favor, but for scalpers, even the smallest price differences can make a big impact.

⚙️ To manage slippage, trade during liquid hours, avoid the market during major news releases, use limit orders, and set a slippage tolerance level.

🎯 LiteFinance offers fast and transparent execution, helping you stay in control of slippage. Explore it in more detail in our latest article.
