	Airmike 8th place	200	View review	95	80	60	235
Dukascopy mark and review Airmike decided to tell us about his idea of a Risk Management Setup. He essentially proposes dividing your equity into weekly or daily budgets, and managing losses so that they do not exceed this amount. The idea is very primitive, but may give you some food for thought.
	David_ 9th place	200	View review	100	71	60	231
Dukascopy mark and review David_'s article NZDjpy Live Trade +194 Pips describes the contents well - it's an overview of just one trade. It is useful to see how a trader thinks and sets up the trade. In this case it is interesting to observe little to no indicators used to make the decision.
