boniez Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I would suggest to always ride the trend and exit when you see sign of reversal, also never use too much leverage to avoid unwanted closure of trades due to lack of margin, also do not over trade, trade less but wise. most leverage is set when you first open an account, so I guess it is a standard 1:500 to invest in small funds. I think exactly the size of lots that must be considered when opening an order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indieover Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 most leverage is set when you first open an account, so I guess it is a standard 1:500 to invest in small funds. I think exactly the size of lots that must be considered when opening an order better not play with leverage if you are still a newbies. it is not important for newbies to use leverage. they should stick with small leverage. as it indeed very dangerous for newbies to choose a higher leverage.

andry777 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 @indieover I am disagree with you. Higher leverage will be much safer because with higher leverage, so your risk will be lower. If you used 1:1000 leverage with same lot size, it can hold more pips than if you used 1:500 leverage. I suggested to use high leverages.

standart Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 @andry777 use high leverage basically is more risky than use low leverage because with high leverage trader can't trading use small lot. if the deposit low, it meant can take high risk loss. use small lot is safer and trader can use small lot for their order.

Nikhil Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 @standart yes its true and for this we need to start with low lots because if we strat trade with high lot then low it may affect our emotion . anyway its good to go ahead slowly because it has low risk but if go faster then possibility to get disaapointed also.

winning11 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I have to make another point here. As a newbie, one the most important things is the eagerness to learn. You must have something motivate you to enhance your trading skills. It is very dangerous to reject learning and start out all by yourself, especially when you are handling real money. You can always find places to learn if you really want to. There are lots of forex videos and forums on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andry777 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 @standart How could you say that? With high or low leverages, we still could use low lot size. There is no connection between leverages with lot size, even you used 1:1000 leverages or 1:100 leverages, you still could use 1 lot but it will be different on its value. And the values is lower in dollars when you used higher leverage so I don't get what risk which you mean here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winning11 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 @andry777 I think what standart is trying to say is, there is a minimum lot size. If your account has a balance that is insufficient considering leverage, or the fund is not enough even trading the smallest lot, you will be really risky. So this comes to the importance of free margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyipreviewblog Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 don't open a big lot if you only have a small principal on your account.... I only open 5-10% of my principal for every trading...that to prevent me for MC.... I find some people only open 1-2% from his principal but he has a big principal on his account....

I find some people only open 1-2% from his principal but he has a big principal on his account.... @hyipreviewblog I completely agreed with you , that we've to take little risk for total units. Where it's possible to gain 08-12% of total return. Just think about our total no of currency, then set target for each quarter where we've calculate and split the no for each. Then find some dealer who needs small or our wanted amount of units, later tie up with them and exchange for own currency (normally usd or euro). But low to high or high to low doesn't matter. We just keep our calculative risk then make profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winzpc Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi, I also a nubie trader. I think the best way for nubie like me to learn the basic knowledge and practicing this forex business with demo account. Prove in demo account that I can make a profitable trade consistently in every month. Using a right money management, also try to make own system trading. Beside that our own personality must be trained to be more patience and discipline. winzpc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andry777 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 @winzpc Yes, in the first time we should learn how to trade well in certain condition of market. And to make it real so we should use demo account in the first time of our trading. It is impossible to use real account directly and you could trade well. At least, that was that I experienced when I learned about forex. So there must be step by step to pass, no shortcut and no instant way to be successful trader.

Every new trader should learn first by using demo account and when they feel ready they still need to learn more and more using learn account cause it is very different when you trade with real account and demo account. What different here is on emotion cause we don't feel it on demo account. Just like doctor, he/she can operate many people easily but when comes to one of his/here family members I think they can really do it in good way. So like forex when using real account you're using you own money to trade, it is very different from demo account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoanglong Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Newbies must know what they can do and what they can not. As Forex traders. with our experience and the help of indicators we can predict the market but it's just predict and there have no way we can ensure what actually will happen so don't get over confident and trade with all you have.

adnan007 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The most important thing in Forex is to set a SL and TP when you take a new position. I would suggest the newbies to place a SL and TP on every trade they commit as there are times when markets move quite strongly and you might receive a margin call and end up loosing all of your initial deposit in a single go....

Well, in that case you should focus on a single strategy rather trying learn several strategies at the same time which surely is confusing. Just try to find the best strategy which suits your trading style and go for it rather then trying several strategies and ending up getting confused.

If you get confuse then just learn one at a time. For example. Me I only trade two pair until now. But every week I keep on trying to improve my trading by learning more strategy. And the funny thing is that the more I learn the less I trade. And its also frustrate me at first. Only to realize the less I trade the less I loss and when I trade theirs a great chance that I earn. So in a month I earn more even I trade less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it is also good to have learn slowly and not only depend or rely on what we have learned. Because it is continuous progress so it is necessary to learn something new and also apply in trading strategy. You are saying like of "the less trade the more profit" which i believe that experts have that thoughts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogeshwartyagi Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 To be a good trader you should dare to admit in time if their prediction/analysis was not right and close trade by letting stop loss tirgger. Booking loss is not bad bad or shameful but letting leaving your trade to go in unlimited loss is kiddish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
