hi famous

As you probably already have discovered you can make a lot of money in forex in short time, like 80% in one hour, by using high leverage :wink:

Keep leverage high and stoploss tight, like 10 pips :wink:

You can trade at any time during the day :wink:

Your profit is propotional with the numbers of trades you make each day :wink:

Your profit is propotional with size of bets :wink:

If you don't have any money just use your credit card :wink:

Having a fast PC is a big advantage :wink:

Remember that when using a standard account instead of a mini account you can trade very larger contracts, like 100.000 USD with only 1000 USD. The professionals in banks use standard accounts, not mini or micro accounts :wink:

There are many free courses on technical analysis. They will teach you all you have to know without knowing the details of any specific currency :wink:

Happy trading and enjoy your profits on the beach

When you trade in forex you have to say how much you want to stake per pip. So if you stake $2 per pip a 50 pip win would mean you have made $100.
If you have $1000 to trade with I would not stake more than $1 per pip initially as a 50 pip loss would mean a loss of $50, which is 5% of your trading account. Do not ever stake more than 5% or preferably no more 2% of your trading account on any one trade.
The best way to ensure you do not lose any more pips than you intend to is by placing a stop loss, which is an order to close your position at a specified point should the market move in the wrong direction.
Be very cautious and trade small amounts only to start with, otherwise you'll learn a very painful lesson and your account will be wiped out in no time!!
