Hi everyone, so my doubt is about the possibility in Forex to choose your risk… so a far SL from your entry is not gonna create a big risk. In E-Mini if you risk a lot of points, you’re gonna risk also an number amount of money… in Forex no. So one doesn’t feelthe pressure of “bigger risk”.
So where is the “High probabilità = High Risk thing” if you trade Forex?
the further your stop loss is from your entry price the more you're risking on the trade no matter what market you're trading, and it's not exactly high risk, but the poorer the risk to reward ratio = the better the probability of individual trade success

Hi, thank you for the reply. But how my risk is greater if i can choose my % per pip even if 10, 20 or 30 pips. So literally I’m not risking “more” for an higher Probability.
There is also a video where Al Brooks explain Forex and he said “in Forex the risk is much less since you choose it, but for simplicity let’s say it’s not”. So I don’t understand where is the risk part… is just High Probability but where is the risk?
Hi Alessandro,
I'm not sure if I fully understood you. To clarify: The trader's equation is universal—it calculates probability, risk, and reward from price action patterns .
Your point about lower risk in forex might stem from the ability to use much smaller position sizes (micro lots) compared to futures contracts that you cannot split them, allowing traders to risk very little per trade.
Wishing you lovely holidays,
Josep
