Practice enough on a demo account first.

Yes, there’s no other way of finding out how you should be trading. A demo account will tell you if your strategy is right, or if you need to make any changes.

@Collingwood112 Even I started with a demo account of plus500 and then when I went live with fxview, I invested $100 and made my first trade. Eventually I raised my capital amount and it’s been all good.

You can trade whichever lot you want, just remember to keep leverage at bay. That way you will keep yourself safe in the long run.

@Fafduplesis It's simple really. When you suffer a loss while using high leverge, the loss in the trade would be totalled according to the leverage ratio. If the leverage is very high the trader would take high risk. For example a trader took 50 times the real leverage on his 10,000 dollars capital, the trader would short/long 5 lots of the currency.

Leverages can be a great tool but then with the good things comes the risk; which is substantially high. If you win the trade you reap good profits.

The leverages and trade size can also be calculated through trade calculators. I have been using Fxview's Fibonacci retracements from the charts through the extreme points. This helps me verify strategies which I can then also apply to my Instaforex account to find the retractments. Fibonacci retracements is bomb!

I also benefited from the demo account. Got a good idea of how the price action develops and the inherent risks of leverage along with the idea of correlations between the currency pairs, also how market hours and assets change the volatility.

Let’s not forget the chart figures and support and resistance lines. I made a demo account with FXview and Pepperstone and understood in detail how to configure different charts for technical analysis and the margin used depending on the leverage.

Same type of money you will not make as you did in the demo. Demo account I believe works to offer you live quotes and a virtual portfolio to learn from the real market conditions.

I am about to open a live account and have been wondering if I can make some money out of it.
You can, only if the brokers are running contests. There are few who do that but majority brokers avoid spending so much money via bonuses.

I think the best method to determine trade size and leverages is what is your risk taking capacity. Because if you take high leverages or bigger lot sizes then it will destroy your capital
Rightly said mate. Higher the leverage higher are the chances to blow up your account.
The more your practice, the more you learn.

Start with a demo account, then nano/micro and after that standard. No matter what it will help you to develop how much capital you need for the trades.

Also broker fee is important because it helps us get the amount that is debited from the trade. I have used Fxview and IG for my trading needs and it has all these features. Give their deme a shot !

Demo accounts are not so helpful because we are not gaining emotional control of ourselves while we trade demos.

Yes absolutely true, people tend to do revenge trading which becomes the pivotal point in their downfall.

The best thing about forex is that there are numerous methods of demo trading and calculations. There are multiple levels of calculation which can be done to understand the trades with a technical perspective

It is also a good method to allocate the trade according to the risk because then we can be assured that what we are getting out of that trade. If you are new to the trading world then the best method would be to trade micro lots because of the low risk.

Yes Dennis, and standard lots would be a big no, same with high leverage.
Personally I think there is no harm in using leverages because if you know what you are doing and are sure, a leverage trade would bring you profit. It is okay then to use leverages.

There are several types of lots you can trade and even True Dennis, for someone new micro lots is suitable. But overall, standard lots and no matter how much leverage you use it all depends on your learning capacity.
