budado Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Its depends on how you consider your deposit. for example. You deposited 500 dollars. You earn and increase your funds to 600 dollars. And since you only invested 500 dollars when your funds goes down to 50 dollars your total loss is 550 dollars since your fund reach 600 dollars because of your earnings. So in short you loss more than you deposited. Because you deposited 500 dollars and loss 550 dollars but still have 50 dollars in your balance. Is this your question?

mohammadbadr Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I think only careful money management that can assure us long staying in this market, and moreover making profits regularly, also patience and discipline are very important, so as we can learn how to act with all the market conditions without any fear, and bad emotions that can make everything upside down!

Money management is only part of forex trading. Money management has nothing to do with earnings at all. You can't earn if you just going to use money management. The only thing money management do is to lessen your loss each time you trade. But if you want to earn in forex what you really need is good trading strategy. Combine it with money management in the long run you will really earn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senger Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Possible that the remaining losses as long as did not depend on good management of money and I see that with a successful trading strategy, you can achieve a lot of profit per day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinoycity Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Can you really lose more money than what you have deposited in your account. I think, this is not possible. I think, the broker will close your trade if you have reached your money limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke1 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I see many people lose the money more than they invest because they inject more money, they think they can change the situation on Forex market, but wrong.. They lose more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yenney611 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 it is very possible to loose more than your capital because of course you will earn some or bigger than your money then if you have not withdraw all of it then the tendency if you make any trades then you will loose it.

If you invested 100 dollars at most you going to loss is 100 dollars. how can you loss more than 100 dollars that you deposited? You mean to say that if you deposited 100 dollars you can loss more than that. lets say 120 dollars? then how can you loss 20 dollars more?

adnan007 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 All trading broker has the facility to automatically close the positions when a trader has reached the minimum margin which can be held in their account. However, your account can only end up loosing more than what you can when you have an open position on the weekend and the new week takes up your margin upto a great extent.

flybiz08 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 As far aas the brokerage account is concerned, the forex brokers will not allow your account go below zero balance. If they did, then when new deposits are made, then the trader will have to pay up the outstanding debt and this would be discouraging.

Tariq777 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 No you cannot lose the more of the funds that you deposited. Of course you cant the balance never goes negative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyvoy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Though brokers have automatic stop on your trades when your balance comes near 0 but some time due to huge market volatility broker may not be able to close trade at right level and so there happen more losses than your capital. Still i dont think broker demand you this negative amount and is bore by themselves though it may be adjusted if you redposit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaky Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Yes you can definitely more funds than you have deposited. Once you are not careful, you don't apply good money management and risk management, you will definitely experience loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexway Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Its much more possible for us to loss more than the fund we deposited even in multiple ,so for a trader to avoid all this all we need is to make sure that we learn and trade properly to gain much knowledge and if you are a newbie make sure that you demo trade properly to avoid all this.

Tariq777 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Of course not, the balance in your account never goes negative so you won't lost more than you deposited there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbengustic Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Am sure its not possible to lose more than the fund you have available in your account, because your broker will automatically stop you from opening a trade when your abount balance is below the amount required to enter a trade.

hardworks Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I face some negative loses in account balance while having orders through our some weeks. In the last week, the gap price attacks me very badly, and i got my balance in negative. This is not occurred in all brokers. All brokers have their own conditions.

adnan007 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 As I said in my previous posts, we can get losses greater than our account balances in the case of keeping your position open during weekdays. I recently faced a similar situation while trading with DEMO account where my position ended up with -$200 balance due to opening gap of my trading pair after weekdays.

fari Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 what a question. you cannot lose anything which you don't have. you can only lose what you have because the other you already don't have it so how you lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizal83 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I also do not understand what is written, maybe it's about trade issues of interest or discuss other issues as far as I know every time I had lost my balance a blank until I make a deposit and any further then my balance is not reduced at all, and maybe if it happens to you maybe you can ask more clearly to your broker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â We can loose more than what we have in forex. But some situations rarely takes place in forex. I did come across one of such situations on my demo account where I kept a position open during weekend and the market started off with a big gap causing my account to not only get blown up but at the same time cause a -$200 on my demo account which was shocking.

rony Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I think that is difficult if we could reduce more than we placed except our consideration has been loaded with no cost richesse of resources in our stability. If our consideration is genuine from down payment only, that won't occur to reduce more than we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizal83 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 it all depends on the knowledge we have because forex is not an investment like any other business who only invest the amount of money we have and receive benefits without having to do anything in this business and we are the ones who determine what we want to get profit by trading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 If you invested 100 dollars an earn and reach 200 dollars then you get MC then you loss 200 dollars. so in short your can loss more than you invest if you already make profit. Unless if you don't count your profit also. In forex trading we must always count our profit since that's what forex trading is all about. Its about profit vs loses and you must make sure that your loses will always be more than your profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
