1) Position Sizing is a critical aspect of risk management. It refers to determining the appropriate amount of capital to allocate for each trade based on your account size and risk tolerance. If you have a £10,000 account and your strategy sets out 1% risk tolerance, position sizing should reflect this.

2) Stop Loss Orders are essential for risk management. Again, consider your risk tolerance and set your stop loss to reflect this.

3) Avoid Overleveraging at all costs. The more leverage you use the higher the value of your pip movements and exposure to losses.

4) Appropriate Margin Management to avoid the dreaded margin call and have all of your positions automatically closed. Make sure you are fully aware of your brokers margin requirements.

5) Risk Reward Ratio's should be sensible. You will not be successful on every trade, but so long as your risk to reward ratio's is sensible i.e 2:1 you will only need to have one successfull trade out of three to break even.

I think risk management can change based on the effectiveness of the strategy, if your strategy has a win rate of 40% but a risk reward ratio of 1:3/4 you can use up to 1% risk per trade

First of all, you need to set a small leverage. You need to trade small lots that correspond to the size of the deposit and risk management rules. There are also non-trading risks that are associated with choosing a broker. And to avoid them, you need to choose a reliable broker with favorable trading conditions, instant execution of transactions, minimal spreads and stable operation of the terminal like fxopen.
