Risk Management

Diversification

Spreading risk across different trades, pairs, or strategies.

Full Definition

Diversification involves spreading your trading capital across different currency pairs, strategies, or timeframes to reduce overall risk. Rather than putting all capital into one trade, diversification helps ensure that poor performance in one area does not devastate your entire account. However, correlated pairs may provide false diversification.
