Perhaps, risk management is the most important concepts that you will learn while trying out your Forex practice account. The wise management of risk sets professionals apart from beginners. The practice account is not only about getting the feel of the actual situation; it also gives you an established venue to watch out for your personal emotions. If you get too affected by it, then you should learn how to control. This way, you will make real profits and veer away from losses in the long run. In order to develop your capability to manage risks, the following steps are recommended:

  1. Request your forex brokerage to reduce the account balance of your Forex practice account. Usually, they give a default amount of USD 50,000 worth of play money. In order to get a more realistic feel, ask them to give you a more reasonable amount to play with – USD 5,000 will be perfect.
  2. The level of leverage should be reduced. Make 20:1 your maximum leverage. This way, you will be force to be more realistic in terms of sizing up your trade and in defining your stops and go’s.
  3. Lastly, do not take your play money for granted. Treat it like real money. It will be difficult for you to adjust if you see your Forex practice account as a mere gaming venue.

As they all say, if you want to be close to being the best forex trader, you will need some practice. Opening your own practice account will be one of the best ways of gaining the much-needed experience that is necessary to survive the harsh tides of forex trading market.
