My concern on lot commissions

Rosstaylorr posted:It is nice that you at least know how to go about the leverage and I’ve seen most newbies fail because they kept risking very high. As for me, when I started with it, I also went as high as 1:500 at times with some brokers, Fxcm, etc. and I ended up losing almost everything. Now I prefer keeping it low and playing safe. Using the same platforms but keeping the leverage ratio real low.donelderly posted:Trading with lower lots can be a very good tip and this also allows a person to manage their accounts well. This will also prevent them from getting any margin call and to avoid that, some measures should be taken. Like when I’m trading with about 1 lot using some platforms (Xtb), I try to keep my leverage low. This allows me to save myself from higher risk. It is better to go with low commission brokers so that you don’t end up losing most of your money in commissions.PercymcDonnell54 posted:That’s right and even for beginners, it is fine that they go with one lot at a time. Much more important is the risk and money management here. Can’t take that lightly.
See you can trade lots according to your risk tolerance. You can try trading 1 lot for the moment if that works for you and keep learning more.

It doesn’t matter if you are trading a demo or going live, a lot size often helps traders in understanding how much to risk and how much they should trade. Better to determine the lost size for trading in the beginning.

PercymcDonnell54 posted:Yeah keeping the leverage pretty low can work well for an effective risk management.Rosstaylorr posted:That seems manageable and honestly I see no harm in being careful while trading. Using stop loss, lower leverage and cost effective brokers can add up to a good risk and money management.donelderly posted:Trading with lower lots can be a very good tip and this also allows a person to manage their accounts well.

advancedsmifser posted:That is a good strategy, are you placing that many lot sizes in live trading also?Sarjohn posted:I have been practicing use of RSI, MACD and bollinger bands while keeping my trade open for several hours and in some cases days. I have been thinking I have reached a point of stagnation from where I can only learn if I put in some real bucks.
Placing that many lot sizes when you are just gathering knowledge is not a good idea, first develop a good strategy and practice on demo.

Shaunmaxi posted:You can trade currency pairs based on their volatility and how profitable you think they can be for you. With the right strategy and analysis, you can improve your trades. Like I did with USD/JPY and USD/CHF with IB. You can look at different pairs and their pip value will probably depend on the pair you are trading.
Thanks for the responses. I just want to clarify one other thing and can someone tell me what are the best currencies to trade, keeping in mind the low lots that I can trade?

You should focus on working and learning more about the market first. This will give you some experience and an idea of how to manage things.
