can anyone help with the link to the video tutorial on BUDGETTING BASED ON % RISK AND ALLOTTED STOP LOSS.

just saw the diamonds room orientation video, and Sir Pipsalot mention something about making the video in August.

will love to have the link, can any one help?

thanks
 
I'm not sure where that video is stashed, but can help with risk management.

Trades in Diamonds are usually called at % risk of your account balance. The levels I've seen Sir Pips call are 1/2%, 1%, and 2%.

As an example, if he called a 1% risk with a 20 pip stop loss on a xxxUSD pair and you had $5000 in your account, it won't be too hard to figure out the maximum lot size you should place on the trade.

1% of $5000 is $50. Pairs ending in USD are $10 per pip if you trade a full lot. You obviously won't be able to trade a full lot. Minilots on these pairs are $1/pip, so trading 1 minilot with a 20 pip SL would be risking $20. Under these conditions, you would trade (at most) 2.5 minilots (2 minilots if your broker won't let you go down to microlots).
