Technical analysis focuses on studying and analyzing previous charts and price patterns which could help predict the possible outcome of current price action. Technical analysis is mainly used for short-term trading but can also be applied for a longer period. On the other hand, Fundamental Analysis focuses on the key economic and financial figures of the asset in question and gauges the current strength or weakness based on those numbers.
While there are endless ways to trade the markets, we recommend that traders spend time understanding how price moves while also looking at the underlying fundamental conditions of an asset. It’s imperative that traders use both, technical and fundamental analysis while also finding a short-term or long-term trading approach that suits their style, character, and risk tolerance.
The best way to manage your trading risk is by looking at trading as a business. The existence of stop loss and take profit orders helps in keeping your trading journey in check. Stop-loss orders protect you in case the market keeps moving against you and helps limit your loss, based on the price of your choice. Take profit orders allow you to book profits at a specified level and is useful as the possibility that the market reverses remains elevated at all times.
Furthermore, leverage plays a major role in helping traders manage their risk. We encourage the use of lower leverage especially for those who are risk averse as higher leverage can easily lead to bigger exposure and higher risk.

Forex and CFDs are leveraged products that incur a high level of risk and a small adverse market movement may expose the client to lose the entire invested capital. The vast majority of retail client accounts lose money when trading in CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss in excess of your deposited funds even if a stop loss is used and therefore, you should not speculate with capital that you cannot afford to lose and be aware of trading risks.
