選對槓桿

你總要最大的槓桿。

如果你用這麼大的槓桿亂來，那你遲早要跪的。如果你選了這麼大的槓桿，那麼你要考慮的就是“保證金”，你可以想象一幅畫面，你脖子上戴著300克拉的鑽石金項鍊，被一群内衣模特團團圍住。

原因如下。

你交易外匯的時候，是要扣除保證金的，賬戶中剩下的錢是“可用保證金”。我喜歡可用保證金。有些人看黃片，但是我會閉著眼睛想我的可用保證金。

可用保證金有什麼特別之處？

它是我交易成功的前提。我可以用這部分資金做更多的交易，這裡是我喘息休息的地方。我希望休息的空間越大越好，進行的交易越多越好。我不想一筆交易就扣掉我一半的錢。

監管機構不想你有太多保證金，他們不信任你，但是我信任你。

另一方面：如果你剛開始交易外匯，想讓你的小賬戶像滾雪球一樣越滾越大，那麼你需要保證金。現在很流行這樣一句話：“天哪，你用了這麼多保證金，不怕爆倉嗎？”其實你很聰明，不會讓爆倉發生的，你又不笨。這麼跟你說的人一定是個笨蛋。

100:1？聰明點

如果你的交易賬戶裡有1,000美金，你想用100倍的槓桿建倉，這意味著你可以用100美元來交易100,000美元的倉位，每波動一點，你會賺到（或虧損）10美元。每週做幾筆20點的交易，這就很不錯了。當然，你也可能虧損，不過放心，你會越來越聰明的。

在你開了一單之後，你的賬戶裡還剩900美元的可用保證金，所以你的交易會對你產生一些影響，不過影響不大。你不用追加保證金，也不要感到有壓力。

嘿，聽著，我不是建議你在1000美金的賬戶裡開1標準手（10萬美元的倉位）的訂單，我只是告訴你我喜歡決定權掌握在自己手中，而不是在政府那髒兮兮的限制保證金的爪子下。

Choosing The Right Leverage For Your Trades

You want the maximum leverage.

You want so much leverage that you are literally crapping leverage if you so much as bend your knees. You want so much leverage that next to the word “margin” in the dictionary, there is a picture of you wearing a three hundred karat diamond-crusted gold chain around your neck, surrounded by lingerie models.

Here’s why.

When you open an fx trade, you put down margin. And whatever is left in your account is “usable margin.” I love usable margin. Some guys watch porn. I just close my eyes and think about usable margin.

What’s So Special About Usable Margin?

It’s the room my trade needs to be successful. It’s margin I can use to take more trades. It’s breathing space for my trades. I want the most breathing space possible. I want to be able to open more trades. I don’t want to have to put a down payment of half my account just to open a trade.

The regulatory agencies don’t like you to have margin. They don’t trust you. I trust you.

And another thing: If you are starting out in forex, and you want to build a small account into something bigger, you are going to need margin. It is popular to say “Oh my god you are going to blow up your account if you use too much margin.” But the truth is that you are smart enough not to blow up your account. You are not an idiot. Anyone who tells you that is a bigger idiot than you will ever be.

100:1? Be Smart

If you have a $1,000 trading account and you want to build it up, you want 100:1 leverage. That means that you could put up $100 for a trade, and trade a $100,000 position, and you’ll be making (or losing) $10 a pip. Make a few 20-pip trades a week, and that’s some sweet profit. Of course, you can lose money, but listen, you’re going to be smart about the trades you open.

And after you open that trade, you have $900 in usable margin in your account, so your trade can move a little bit against you and it’s no big deal. You won’t margin call. You won’t have to be all stressed out about it.

And hey, listen, I didn’t just recommend that you trade a standard lot ($100k position) on a $1,000 account. I’m just saying that I like that the decision to do that is in your hands, not the government’s grubby little margin-restricting paws.
