First of all, to control risks, I use a small leverage of 1:100. I also trade a lot in accordance with my deposit size according to the rules of money management - this gives me the opportunity not to receive large losses if a stop loss order is triggered. I don’t load my deposit with a large number of orders for different currency pairs, but prefer to trade only two or three pairs at a time.
