Aqui est\u00e3o alguns erros comuns a evitar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-1-trading-with-emotions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Negociar com emo\u00e7\u00f5es<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hoje tens lucro e, de repente, sentes-te confiante o suficiente para duplicar o tamanho do teu lote amanh\u00e3. Infelizmente, confian\u00e7a n\u00e3o \u00e9 uma estrat\u00e9gia de gest\u00e3o de risco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-2-using-the-same-lot-size-on-every-trade\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Usar o mesmo tamanho de lote em todas as opera\u00e7\u00f5es<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Um stop loss de 20 pips e um stop loss de 100 pips n\u00e3o implicam o mesmo risco financeiro quando se usa o mesmo tamanho de lote. Ajusta o teu volume de acordo com a dist\u00e2ncia do stop loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-3-increasing-lot-size-to-recover-losses\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Aumentar o tamanho do lote para recuperar perdas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depois de perderes 50 $, decides abrir uma posi\u00e7\u00e3o muito maior para recuperar o dinheiro rapidamente. Muitas vezes \u00e9 assim que uma pequena perda se torna devastadora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-4-ignoring-leverage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Ignorar a alavancagem<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tentrade.com\/pt\/margin-leverage\/\">Alavancagem elevada<\/a> A alavancagem permite-te controlar posi\u00e7\u00f5es maiores com relativamente pouca margem. No entanto, n\u00e3o reduz o risco financeiro real da tua opera\u00e7\u00e3o. Uma posi\u00e7\u00e3o maior ainda pode produzir perdas significativas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-5-forgetting-about-multiple-open-trades\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Esquecer-te de v\u00e1rias opera\u00e7\u00f5es abertas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abrir cinco opera\u00e7\u00f5es com 2% de risco cada pode expor a tua conta a um risco potencial de 10% se todos os respetivos stop losses forem acionados. Considera sempre a tua exposi\u00e7\u00e3o total, especialmente ao negociar instrumentos correlacionados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-practical-example-two-traders-one-market\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exemplo Pr\u00e1tico: Dois Traders, Um Mercado<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imaginemos dois traders que ambos t\u00eam contas de 1.000 $ e identificam a mesma oportunidade de compra em ouro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>O Trader A abre uma posi\u00e7\u00e3o de 1,00 lote sem calcular corretamente o risco.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>O Trader B calcula o tamanho da posi\u00e7\u00e3o com base num limite de risco de 2%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O mercado move-se subitamente contra ambos os traders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O Trader A sofre uma perda significativa devido \u00e0 posi\u00e7\u00e3o excessiva, enquanto o Trader B sofre uma perda muito menor e controlada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curiosamente, ambos os traders poderiam ter obtido o mesmo lucro se o mercado tivesse movido a seu favor.
