As it is known, one of the winning parameters in Forex market is Money Management, which is more crucial than a good strategy. So it is good to know that there is a hidden fact in the market, so called pip's value. Most traders pay no attention to this fact.
Here comes an example to brighten up. If you have an EUR account, pip's value for each 0.1 lots on EURGBP is around 1.10380 (it depends on the current rate) and on EURUSD is around 0.85050, it means if you take a trade on each of these currency pairs with 0.1 lots and lose 20 pips on both, the lost amount varies based on pip's value. Your lost margin on EURGBP is 20 x 1.10380 = 22.076 € and on EURUSD is 20 x 0.85050 = 17.01 €, it is a noticeable difference.
Trading assistant is a very smart expert that calculates pip's value on each currency pairs wished for and get a recommendation lots for the next trade based on risk percentage and Stop Loss that have been set in the expert setting. Risk amount will be calculated based on the current balance and among of Stop Loss, but the expert considers the open positions as well.
Let's take another example: by having an account with 1K € as balance, and setup the risk percentage 10% on it, first expert will calculate pip's value on the trading currency pairs, and calculate the recommendation lots based on value of the Stop Loss. It means if the market moves on the opposite way of mentioned trade and hits the SL, the lost will only be 10% of the whole capital, which in this case is 100 €. Imagine, there is an open position and wishing to take another one. Trading assistant first considers the open position as a lost position to help reduce of damage, then calculates the next recommendation lot based on remaining free balance or 90% of the balance, not 100%. If you lose the first position, you lose 10% of your capital and if you also lose the second position, you lose another 10% of the remaining capital. Trading assistant helps you to have best Money Management as easy as it goes without manual calculation.
