[PRO TIP] The Zero-Leverage Silver Buffer: How to Fund Your Forex Scalping Series Risk-Free

[FXS Prop Desk]

Building a buffer before trading the main strategy is an interesting idea. Readers should note that zero-leverage silver positions still carry significant price risk, since silver can move several percent in a day. The buffer is only risk-free in the sense of not using margin; it is not free of losses, and should be sized with that in mind.

For newer traders, keeping the buffer in a separate account also lets you see clearly how much of the forex result comes from the buffer and how much from the main strategy.
