luke1 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 There is no exact amount of money we need to put on the Forex Trading. But more money will be good and stronger. The margin is much stronger to hold any open position. At least we need more than $100,000 to make good in Forex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinoycity Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I agree that an account with $100,000 will make the earnings better but I think, I will only invest $100,000 in Forex if I am a millionaire. If I only have that amount, I will not invest all that amount in Forex, just a percentage of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valexer Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 According to the ones i know that is active in forex trading, an initial investment of $50-$100 would be a good start. In this way you can easily see your money grow than investing in small amounts. But you should be aware that you could last that capital but not instantly. Psychologically it also helps your mind compensate with a loss because you still have some money remaining than start in small amounts and get wiped out from the start. And with small amounts, even if you win, you could hardly see any profit from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinoycity Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I will be happy to start with that amount - $100 and maybe earn a modest 20% every month. Maybe, I will invest 50% of the earnings and out it back to my account. I think, in a year, the money in my account, if ever, will become, $300. Still not a high amount, but what I will earn aside from the profit is the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you may wonder why 100 dollars but I need to have 250 dollars. Its because of margin purposes. In short my plan is to invest 250 dollars but I'm only willing to loss 100 dollars. the 150 dollars are just for margins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stezz Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Most of us go to trade in forex to multiply our capital - e.g. one expect it to double in 20 days, so why spend and risk big moneys even if you start with lower amount like 10$ by right strategies and experience you can turn it in thousands dollar in few months. Â but if we get only 1 $ a day it will not motivates us too keep trading example what can you buy with 1 $ ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yenney611 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 yes true, like me when i was new in forex, i tried trading for only $2 since i dont know really how to do it. so i have to trade it in cents and it is really very difficult and i cant gain big, until i was able to make a broker account that at least i could trade more.

omostar Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Â but if we get only 1 $ a day it will not motivates us too keep trading example what can you buy with 1 $ ?? We need to see those periods that we are making small amounts in profit as part of the learning period. It is even an achievement for a new trader to be able to make some consistent profits daily, no matter how small the maybe. As we get more experience, we can then decide to gradually increase our capital and therefore our profit potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddick09 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yes, we need to keep on making consistent profit it is not only making profit but also trading to always have profit as when we have changed to a bigger trading capital and bigger volumes and pips target then we will able to gain bigger profits easily just like we did when we are earning small profits.

pepy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 how much? hmm, i think that is depend on the person who want to trading here, but for now i make about $40 investment in forex, actually the total of my investment since the first time i trade forex is about $200, and until now i am still not in profit, and still strugling to reach that amount, but for many big traded i think it will be more than mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirus Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 The choice of how much you want to start your investment is yours really. It would also depend on how much capital you have at your disposal because you cannot trade money that you do not have. Just as long as one remembers that they should trade with money that they cannot afford to loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with the passing time, they do understand that trading with a better and bigger initial deposits has several benefits which are already known to the professionals out their in the forex business.

Â yeah, but still profit need some good knowledge and also good intuition when we want to trade, but of course with a big amount of deposit we will have bigger chance to earn a big amount of money from forex and we could even triple the money we get from our trading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monyitomon Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 If you are already professional then likely you are trading 1000 to > dollars. Yeah! A newbie seeks for experience first because we all understand that starting in Forex was never easy, you will face a lot of losses for sure.

monyitomon Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I don't think so.. You are referring to professional just only 100 dollars? lol. I guess they are trading 1000 or above. I knew someone who is trading 1000 dollars, i guess he is already a regular Forex trader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I trade in forex for the first time my total investments is 1,000 dollars. And I'm just a beginners. And if you check the legit broker sites that one that you can find in bloombergs the minimum to invest are in 50,000 dollars more or less. That's how much the minimum amount to invest in their.

Its better to trade on your own. And investing minimum which you mean of 1 dollar will be impossible to gain profit or worthy profit. 100 dollars nowadays is just enough as minimum investment to start trading.

Sixteen Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think 100 dollar is good start up if you want to invest in forex. But professional traders can start up with 1000 dollars and can make alot of profit with that and also can cover up their loses fastly. I think starting up with a low about is not that bad as we trade on the money available already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
