Advanced Risk & Portfolio Thinking for Forex Traders
A rigorous, actionable course teaching professional risk and portfolio techniques for multi-currency trading: calculate net exposure, design hedges, combine strategies and meet prop-firm rules. Demands deliberate practice on a demo account; suited to traders who have completed Forex Fluency's earlier courses in the learning path.
What you'll learn
- Calculate pip value, margin and exact lot size so a stop-loss costs a fixed % of the account (0.5–2%).
- Measure net currency exposure across a multi-pair portfolio and convert every position to a single currency exposure (e.g., USD).
- Build and quantify hedges using opposite positions and correlated pairs, and calculate the cost and residual risk of each hedge.
- Compute and interpret rolling correlation matrices and apply them to reduce concentration risk between strategies.
- Design scaling-in and scaling-out rules that control average risk per trade and worst-case drawdown mathematically.
- Allocate capital between multiple strategies using volatility parity and simple risk-budgeting to improve diversification.
- Create a prop-firm compliant risk plan (intraday, max-drawdown, and ramp rules) and model the probability of passing a challenge.
- Write a complete, testable risk policy and live-transition checklist and validate it on a demo account.
