When you begin your journey as a trader, you are putting your hard-earned capital at risk.

Often, the last thing a new trader thinks about is how to manage risk. Instead, they are thinking about getting perfect entries or how many trades they can find in a day. And very often they are thinking about how to spend their profits!

But managing risk should be the first item on a trader’s To-Do list. Ask any successful trader about their trading and they will speak about how they manage risk to achieve their goals. The head of the largest hedge fund in the world, Ray Dalio, writes in his book, “If you are not defensive, you are not going to keep money.”

Risk management is the foundation for successful trading. We at FX Academy want you to learn that through these lessons and not learn it by losing a big part of your trading account!... [-]

These are typical situations in which credit risk manifests itself.

According to the Basel Accord, a global regulatory framework for financial institutions, credit risk is one of the three fundamental risks a bank or any other regulated financial institution has to face when operating in the markets (the two other risks being a market risk and operational risk). As the 2008 financial crisis has shown us, a correct understanding of credit risk and the ability to manage it are fundamental in today's world.... [-]
