2500 $ or 2500 € it's not the same ... but so small to know what is fear for his money ... believe me (and we are always small compare to somebody bigger)

every body has to beginn ... no shame for a demo account what is important is your own account ... let the others play ... trying to take your real 2500 $

so good night i'm ready for dreaming

i am on DEMO.

lost 3000€ summer of 2007, stepped away for a few months and come back trading daily the last 6 months or so.

as i said today i expect to go live on the beginning of next month. still don't know if i am going to deposit 500€ and trade 0.1 lots (risk 4% per trade) or 2000€ and trade 0.2 lots (for times the money and half the risk (aprox. 2% per trade).

since we are at it any (value added) comments are welcome.

500€ i can loose with no problem. 2000€ wouldn't be that welcome loss. on the other 2000€ that would be "a little bit more serious" than the 500€.
dreams do come true.

Thousands or traders anxiously await the NFP report tomorrow that will wipe out 99% of them...

Haha...I never trade NFP, gambling at it's worst

If I had to guess, report will be decent for US Dollar so E/U drops down to around 1.400, US Equity markets end red after a knee jerk higher open.

i'd always trade multiple lots so that i can close part of it when it's reached tp, move sl to entry and let remainder run risk-free.

wow i didnt realise corruption was this deeply seated. read part of this email and stay safe. i not trying to advertise or anything im just surprised they didnt get ther money.

Hi Traders,

Imagine getting an email from your broker saying that they are really sorry...but your money is all gone. The broker went belly up...along with your deposits!

It's hard to believe, but this has happened multiple times in the Forex industry. Traders put their hard earned money into their accounts and got nothing back but an apology.

As you can imagine,...
sounds like an add to me..you should remove it..

What was your montly result of your last 6 months trade? if loosing every month then you need to find out why? It could be your strategy is not right for you or you trade news or you jump into position without analysing it.
First you need to find out how you trade? Do you have your own strategy or just go to any forum and trade based on what other people are saying.
Once know what type of trader you are then you need to fix yourself from there.
I will say take a very small position 1 lot max in Mini and try to improve your trading.
You will win and you will loose but try to win more then you loose.
Develop your trading skills by putting your own money at risk.

never learned as much as i did when i blew up my 1st real a/c though. never ever under-estimate the difference between demo and real trading! among other things learned not to stare at the screen all the time. set up your trade and either it works or. staring doesn't help.

successful trading!

has really been improving this last month. i think the evolution has been more psychological than technical.

i knew the basic of tech analysis for a few years now but the last 6 months i started looking more into me rather then the technical aspects. i could easily double an account and then blow it because couldn't accept a small loss. quite better now (probably will accept a 25 pips loss in a few minutes).

i know i still have a lot of issues to solve (like getting in too soon, assuming that something will happen. still have to practice patience. right now i am long assuming a "within range move" but up until now no signs of it, in fact only a downwards triangle...) but i believe the coming weeks are going to prove me that i have mentaly changed.

although it's still painful to see my 1.4303 just about to get hit!

.2 lots is just fine. make it grow naturally into 2 lots. may take a while but patience is essential.
