Forex Money Management – Types of Stops cont’

   Posted by: RaymondLee    in Forex

3. Volatility Stop
A more sophisticated version of the chart stop uses volatility instead of price action to set risk parameters. The idea is that in a high volatility environment, when prices traverse wide ranges, the trader needs to adapt to the present conditions and allow the position more room for risk to avoid being stopped out by intra-market noise. The opposite holds true for a low volatility environment, in which risk parameters would need to be compressed.

4. Margin Stop
This is perhaps the most unorthodox of all money management strategies, but it can be an effective method in forex, if used judiciously. Unlike exchange-based markets, forex markets operate 24 hours a day. Therefore, forex dealers can liquidate their customer positions almost as soon as they trigger a margin call. For this reason, forex customers are rarely in danger of generating a negative balance in their account, since computers automatically close out all positions
