Reality Check
The number of markets you trade will depend upon a number of factors including;
- Risk capital,
- Risk appetite and
- Strategy/s drawdown.
Naturally traders with less risk capital will trade less markets relative to traders who have more risk capital.
Traders starting out, or even experienced traders looking to re-enter the market, should look to start small, survive trading and build their account balance before adding more strategies and more markets.
In an ideal world, traders using sensible money management, would trade a portfolio of diverse and complimentary multiple timeframe positive expectancy strategies over a portfolio of diverse and liquid markets.
Unfortunately, it’s not an ideal world.
Unfortunately, traders are constrained by both their knowledge and their risk capital.
