If a specialist rarely makes trades, he can view the historical data of charts in Transac in order to track trends in selected securities.

Advice! If desired, you can take care of setting up an automatic response of the TRANSAQ system to the increase / decrease in quotes for selected securities.

How to manage risks?

Constantly tracking the value of securities that have been bought is the surest way to protect against risks. However, it is not always possible to adhere to this principle. That is why experts advise observing the allowable margin level. In addition, the use of stop orders, a deliberate choice of securities, and control of market liquidity will help to limit risks.

Note! It is advisable to purchase securities, the potential risk and the expected return of which will be in the optimal ratio.
