You can employ excellent money managment on a 200 USD account if you use Oanda. There is no such thing as undercapitalization just the wrong broker with to high minimum lot sizes.


I started on an FXCM micro account with 2k....had like 50% percent drawdown the first few months that i started, but then I became profitable when I stopped making newbie mistakes...Its a hell of a lot easier to demo for a long time until you develop a consistently profitable system, then start with capital around 5k.

HELLO mangored AND mfoste1

CAN YOU RECOMMEND THE MINIMUM CAPITAL TO START TRADING?
AND WITH WHICH (RELIABLE) BROKER?
AND USING STANDARD, MINI OR MACRO ACCOUNT?
I APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK AS I AM PLANNING TO OPEN A LIVE ACCOUNT SOON.
200-300
trade micro lots at max and nano lots ($0.01/pip) that way u learn without much risk or stress
broker it really depends
one of mine is interbankfx and i have no complaints really
theres no such thing as best and worst brokers. there are shitty scamming brokers but u can avoid those if u do some research first or at least search this forum on a specific broker

no need to go crazy with more money than 200-300. the beauty of trading spot fx is the fact that alot of brokers allow this flexibility of opening a small account and trading small amounts (micros and nanos)

The conclusion from all these replies, are there is no scientific method yet you can earn profits "If you are experienced". That doesn't make sense to me.
There's no formula that makes the market go where it's going to go. The market is going to move based on what human beings are doing. The future is unpredictable, but what people do (human nature) is relatively recurring and consistent (this goes for both the market makers/banks/institutions and the 'sheep'). However, if you are not witness to these actions and activities on a daily basis, if you haven't seen what has happened in the past in X situation, how are you going to profit off it?

Dont make mistake by representing Forex to be a gamble because gamble simply means a game of chance or luck. Forex is based on clear knowledge of your findings be it fundamental or technical as long you understand the analysis.
Some even call Forex a 'risk', it can anyway mean that to them but it actually explains the level of knowledge such people possessed in the field as 'risk comes from not knowing what you are doing'- Warren Buffett.

Thanks for the books mangored,

Its amazing how much bs exists online, and it can be difficult sifting through it. I thought the site http://www.actionforex.com/ was legit, but is totally bogus. There is a section on daily technical reports supposedly issued by major banks and professionals that tells you whether to buy or sell a currency, and even gives sl and tp. I knew it was probably going to be fake, but I thought I might as well try it out. I followed these reports exactly on a demo account, (thank god) and it wiped out a 100,000 dollars of play money... lol. It's amazing how a website that looks so promising can be so incredibly FLAWED. The technical reports were literally wrong like 90% of the time. Seems like if anyone knows how to make profits, their going to keep it to themselves, so I am going on a quest of developing my own system.

Going to do some heavy reading. I also heard FF Threads by real traders:
James16 and Jacko are helpful.

Thanks for the input. And stay clear of anything to do with action forex.

Yeah you're on the right track with both those threads. Never heard of actionforex but truth be told all you really need is on this forum and "whisper it" T2W (Trade to win forum). Check out most of the price action threads over there all the information you need to trade is free, and yes there are profitable traders on both forums who do and have imparted their trading knowledge.

It's a long journey and though i don't believe anything new and original has come out of trading for some years I'm sure with patience and a passion for trading you will find an edge that suits you.

.. My big question is:
Why on earth are there no university programs/courses offered for teaching people the technical analysis of successfully capturing pips! If this is the largest market in the world, and millions of people are interested and actively trading in it, it just seems ludacris that you can't study it in university...
try & search for courses in Bernard Baruch college. it was mentioned in a TA book by Kaufman (forgot the first name)

well, i think the reason/s they dont teach it is/are:
-it's difficult to teach
-very few are qualified to teach
-if ever, it will lessen the school of "small fish"
-if ever, it will lessen the number of employed people & increase the number of self-employed


I love learning, but there is a part of me that loves accelerated learning.
I've learned & realized 6-10yrs ago that not all things can be taught in & leaned from school. Trading is 1 great example, imo.

I think this is the simplest and most accurate answer. Trading is more profitable than teaching, especially if you consider potential earnings per hour. Add to it the freedom to "work" from anywhere in the world, then throw in the ability to set your own schedule... If you can trade profitably, why on earth would you teach instead of trade to earn a living? There are few classes, simply because there are few teachers.

Of course, there are good traders who do teach, some are right here on Forex Factory. But in my opinion, most of these genuine traders are teaching in the spirit of helping out others, not for money.

supremechaos and abducted, nice points.

But what I was trying to get at, was that everyone needs to LEARN somewhere. You can't expect me to believe that the successful traders you are talking about, just sat down at their computers and taught themselves. They needed to have acquired knowledge from somewhere or some thing. I agree that no one would want to waste their time teaching, but thats not how life works. In life knowledge is shared through some form or another. If not in classes with a teacher, the only other option I guess, is from learning through reputable proven books that have been published by successful traders...?

everyone has to start from somewhere:
either u acquire knowledge through acquired/"passed-on" knowledge,
via experience/getting self-taught or
a combination of both.

i am not successful yet, but i can say i learned via a combination of both: i was ignorant of FX trading prior 2005/2006; i virtually have no relatives/friends aware of & doing this, even up to this moment. i got into FX trading, first by experience (i got scammed), then by acquired knowledge (via forums, but mainly via Forex Factory-- late 2008/early2009)

if u say it's unbelievable that someone who sits down at his/her computer and taught him/herself became/can become successful, i think in this day & age, it's very much possible although very few might be able to do it, as VERY FEW people are self-reliant, independent, zealous enough to learn on their own, no matter how slow or fast the learning curve might be.
the internet is free: the relevant information is out there, u just have to weed out. having said, learning from someone close to u or thru forums will get u to succeed much faster, of course.

i think very few books are really worth reading. i've read very few books so far, so i cant comment about books.

aside from experience, the best mediums for learning, imho, are thru forums (there are some good threads here) & books.
btw, experience, in the form of Psychology of trading live money & personal Psychology (your personality & current circumstance/environment) cannot be taught in school: it has to be experienced first-hand.

Hello supremeChaos

I am very impressed with your progress in master fx trading.

Just wonder, if you may, to share with newbies like myself who prefer Daily / H4 TF some good trading methods or free ebooks available?

Or, just a suggestion, to begin a trading thread of your own (method). We can learn from you.

Thank you for your kind input.
