Treating Forex as a Savings Account?

I see a lot lot lot of people who seem to want to make a one time deposit to their forex accounts and just try to grow from there.

Is there anyone who's actually depositing every week and then readjusting their lots as the account grows? I was thinking about this while researching holiday clubs and when I saw they only paid 1.5% to 3% interest annually.

I felt I could do way better than that myself, especially if I only waited for premium setups that I was sure of, even if it were only a few trades a year.

Wow there is actually a sure thing in Forex Trading? Tell us about it.
I don't find it nessecary to make a deposit every month. Just grow withdraw your winnings untill you only trade with market money. Now your risk is zero.
Remember don't throw good money after bad money.

wudnt it be better to use a bank cause u get about 3% interest in that. depending on where u live. You cud do like a 3 year bond or somthing where u cant take money out of bank but u get a high interest rate. Not as fun but a bit safer.

I wouldn't think of it like a bank account!

However, now that I "seem" to be a profitable trader I have a long term goal of accumulating a decent amount of capital and eventually migrating to full time trading status.

At the same time, if I continue to be profitable and "safe" in my trades, why should I use only trading to increase my account size by 5000% so that it represents a large enough stake to earn a living with?

Maybe in 2009...

Very good idea. But without proper knowledge, you can not invest more. It will be very risky.

Yes, you are right. If we can deposit every week it will become a huge savings..

So this is an old thread but I am wondering if we are discussing making a regular deposit in a trading account or setting aside a chunk of our income on a regular basis from other sources of income for the purpose of trading?

Forex is a very profitable market. But depositing every week will be very risky for the new traders who have little knowledge about trading.

I personally do not think that is a wise way to do it. Forex is muh more profitable market but at the same time, it is very risky market.
