Forex exchange rate risk

This risk involves the constant fluctuation of demand and supply and how it impacts the exchange values. Till such times the position is outstanding, it is vulnerable to price change. If you want to keep the loss levels at a minimum during the period when it is still outstanding, the two most popular measures that traders adopt are position and loss limitations. Position limitation means that as a trader, you have to establish a system by which you are allowed to trade a specific amount of a certain currency within the regular trading hours in a single day. On the other hand, the loss limit allows you to avoid or limit your losses by setting a limit to the amount of loss that can be made in a day.
