Considering the oftentimes-tumultuous nature of the forex market, traders must adopt risk management as a means to protect capital. Risk management practices usually take on the form of related strategies and tools that work to limit the financial risk as much as possible.
Rollover Rate
Incurring a rollover rate means the interest that a trader must pay (or earn) when he or she holds an open position overnight. Considering that such positions continue from one day to the next, the term “rollover” is fittingly used.
Short Position
Opposite of a long position, this involves taking a position that benefits from a currency’s decline in market price. When the base currency within the pair is eventually sold, then the position is assumed to be short.
Slippage
“Slippage” is a term used to describe when a trader executes a trade that goes through at a higher price than initially expected. This tends to occur during times of high volatility, when investors make use of stop-loss orders and market orders.

Take-Profit Order (T/P)
A market order that stipulates that a position is to be closed once it hits a predetermined price or price range, thus taking all generated profit.
