indieover Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 We have the freedom to choose our own capital. I think we can have a minimum of $10 depending what broker you use. Anyway so you can also trade in bigger capital. But the better trader the better it would be if you have big capital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really a good idea to start trading with smaller amounts and work your way up as you get better in trading. Having a large capital can also end up tempting you to make careless decisions because you know that you have the backup of funds in your trading account.

adnan007 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well I have used small capitals such as $1 to as huge as $1000 for trading in forex. Having small capital restricts our trading capabilities and while having a large capital, it does give us an advantage but still has a risk of loosing huge money. Traders should place an sl and tp to avoid greater losses or losses which a trader can not afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsii619 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 we must management our feelings. Many investors couldn't be individual and they believed that 1% everyday is too few and they desired to get greater. It's okay to enhance our focus on, nothing incorrect with that but we must use more tight in management too so we won't take reduction more than we could manage to agree to.

adnan007 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Initial capital that a trader needs to deposit depends on the trader itself. A trader can invest as small as $1 in forex to get started with it. However, the professionals advise a minimum of $1000 to be invested in forex in order to have a good chance of ending up in profits. However, the trading knowledge and skills is a must before we can have any chance to end up in profits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizal83 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 the greater the amount of deposit that we do to make a trade, the greater the chance we have to get a good profit but we also need to know even though we have a large amount of capital that we can manage without the capital that we use the lot size in forex trading course it will also make a trade we would have a big risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have about 700 dollars right now in six of my active account and I'm thinking that its going to raise to 800 dollars next month. I'm hoping that before the end of the month I can reach 1,000 dollars capital. If that going to happen then that means I can earn 100 dollars a month from my 1000 dollars capital. And this is my target capital for January next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizal83 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 very interesting if you already have so much capital in your account while I just recently had a number of capital is still far below you, and now I only have $ 100 just because before I had to lose a considerable amount and I began to rise again with the losses I've experienced and slowly gain despite the benefits I get each month is not too big but I'm sure with a lot of effort will be able to generate good profits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I decided to invest 500 dollars more this coming January. I just realize that this January I will going to be trading for one year already and as gift for myself I'm going to invest 500 dollars and hope that I can make that 500 dollars into 2000 dollars in one year. I know its hard to make good living in forex trading thats' why its very important that we trade with confidence and we trade with our strategy will tested.

alam3636 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 There are two points we need to consider, first how much profit we want and how much risk we want to take, too less capital will force you to take big risks as without them you shall not be able to earn significant income, so you should have such lowest capital that make you good profits without big risks.

rexway Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Let me know tell you there is no way which you can earn in forex be it huge or small capital without having a good knowledge to trade the market because as far as I know the market dose not respect anybody so learn first and all other things shall be added unto you.

budado Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I just have 1,300 dollars capital right now. Its down since I close one of my broker sites and with deposit and withdrawal fees I end up at loss even though I make a 40 dollars profit but the fee is much bigger than my profit. So I withdraw 254 dollars and only receive 210 dollars. And that's the last time I'm going to invest in gft. I also make withdrawals in instaforex one 40 dollars (LR) and one 25 dollars in (PP). The rest of 300 I will just going to keep it that way as I'm hoping to reach 1,500 dollars capital at the month end. My plan to invest this january will be pospone. I decide to invest this march 1. 1,000 dollars instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke1 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Now, the system on Forex Trading allows the investors to start trading from $10 and even $1. But, it will be useless to trade with only $1 or $10 here. At least, it is better to invest with $100 here. So, the profit we can earn here is better and good here. And the risk is not too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddick09 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Actually, it's on the Forex brokers you are going to invest your funds. Some brokers or most brokers that we know offers or have the features that you can invest for as low as 1 dollar and some have higher minimum simply because they are not accepting much of small investors or traders. I know it will be difficult like to have 50 dollars minimum investment and then, you are not full time trader possibly to even have smaller margin equity.

chintu Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Most of the times i use to earn from the forum posting and with the money i get from the posting i mean the bonus i will be getting into my trading account and finally i will be trading with that money most of the times because if i loos also i will not feel much but if i invest my own money and loss i really feel bad .

Ghost Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Right now, i am in my process of saving for trading. I also have the idea of making posts at bonus-giving forex forums to acquire bonus to trade. But in all, i hope to start trading with at least $100 and then invest more, if i maintain my profitability. As per the effects of the capital in trading, more capital would lead to profits that have more value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't really dictate how much profit that we want to make but its good to have a decent low target. As the higher you wan to earn the more risk you need to take. Me right now I only aim to earn 10% profit a month. But even so I still have hard time earning that amount. But its okay. For me if I really want to be successful in forex I need to be focus on my trading and as long I end up in profit I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddick09 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 There's no really specified or particular trading capital we are going to invest or will accumulate. There's no connection that our investments will always be having our profits depend also. That should be in our management of our capital and how we accept the risk in trading. If we want higher profits we need to consider both the capital and the risk we are dealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirus Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Even with the trading funds that we are able to accumulate from posting on the various forex forum we are still able to return a profit. Its just that the profit is not usually higher because of the limit of trading funds that we have at our disposal. If you feel that you need a lot of capital you can accumulate for some time in line with your strategy before going for the real thing.
