New to Forex trying live on small scale now.

I just spent the last three days studying the charts and baby-pips. Real long days, I went last night with my son to his trading group to sit in and try to learn what him and his friends were trading and their thoughts. It is overwhelming what I need to learn. and I will spend more time reading the treads here as time permits during the slack time. I may be slow to pull the trigger on trades now but by going live it does make the decision more serious. I am going to stay with 2% into trades for my cash management.

I will recommend you to trade 1 unit on oanda. It is as good as a demo + combine the live trading as well.

Good luck to you.
I'm in live-mode since January 12th and I can tell you that my trading-behavious has changed greatly. The more I learned since then, the more careful and picky I became.

Plan your trade and trade your plan..
