<h2>Loss Leader Strategy</h2>
<p>The <strong>loss leader strategy</strong> is a trading approach that focuses on opening multiple small positions with the aim of generating a large number of small profits, rather than relying on a few large trades. This strategy is particularly popular among beginners due to its simplicity and potential for steady growth.</p>

<h2>How It Works</h2>
<p>The loss leader strategy is based on the principle of volume trading. Here's how it works:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Identify a highly liquid market with a low spread, such as major currency pairs or popular commodities.</li>
  <li>Set a tight stop-loss to manage risk. This is typically placed a few pips away from the entry price.</li>
  <li>Open multiple small positions, aiming for a high number of trades rather than large lot sizes.</li>
  <li>Close each position as soon as a small profit is achieved, usually around 5-10 pips.</li>
  <li>Repeat the process throughout the trading day, aiming for a high win rate and a large number of trades.</li>
</ul>
<p>On the <strong>MetaTrader 5</strong> platform, this strategy can be easily implemented using the platform's advanced features, such as the Mini Terminal for opening multiple trades quickly and the Multi-Currency feature for managing multiple positions.</p>

<h2>Why It Matters for Traders</h2>
<p>The loss leader strategy can be beneficial for traders in several ways:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Risk Management:</strong> By opening multiple small positions, the risk per trade is significantly reduced. This helps to preserve capital and allows traders to withstand losing streaks.</li>
  <li><strong>Psychological Advantage:</strong> The strategy's focus on small, consistent profits can boost trader confidence and reduce the psychological impact of losses.</li>
  <li><strong>Leverage Effect:</strong> Even with small lot sizes, traders can still benefit from leverage. For example, with STB Provider's up to 1:300 leverage, a trader can control a large position with a small amount of capital.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Example</h2>
<p>Let's consider an example using the EUR/USD pair with STB Provider's typical spread of 1 pip:</p>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Trade Number</th>
    <th>Entry Price</th>
    <th>Stop-Loss (SL)</th>
    <th>Take-Profit (TP)</th>
    <th>Profit/Loss (P/L)</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>1.18500</td>
    <td>1.18495</td>
    <td>1.18505</td>
    <td>+5 pips</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>1.18505</td>
    <td>1.18500</td>
    <td>1.18510</td>
    <td>+5 pips</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>1.18510</td>
    <td>1.18505</td>
    <td>1.18515</td>
    <td>+5 pips</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>4</td>
    <td>1.18515</td>
    <td>1.18510</td>
    <td>1.18520</td>
    <td>+5 pips</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<p>In this example, the trader opens four trades, each with a profit of 5 pips. Even with a small lot size of 0.1, the total profit would be 20 pips, or $20 if the trader's account has a leverage of 1:300 and the pip value is $10.</p>
