I have been thinking about demo trading but after I read a few negative reviews about it, I never used it. But I think I should give it a try.
There will always be both negative and positive reviews. It is up to you what you want to believe. You better give demo trading a chance and then make your decision rather than depending solely on what others believe.
Ya, different brokers suit different types of traders. You will have to do your own research and testing to find a suitable broker for your needs. You can check their features and see whether they match what you are looking for.

demo trading in? are you talking about just demo trading or with broker?
I don’t understand...demo trading IS done through a broker right? How else does one do it?

I don’t think that a new trader should go for large investments in the beginning. You must wait for some time until you obtain enough knowledge to manage your investments and prevent risks.
Large investments as a beginner might also mean big losses that may dishearten you as a trader. So, it’s better to keep the investments low and save yourself from unnecessary losses.

So true. It can be very useful if you can also learn how to do money and risk management.

Any tips would be helpful, I am as it is not risking more than 1%

It’s good that you are aiming at making great profits in the forex market. But if you focus solely on making money, you won’t get what you want. It is your skills that get you profits in the long run.

Yes, it is smart to start small and keep the investments low in the beginning. Also a good idea to risk a small percent of your trades to stay in sync with risk management.

In my opinion, traders should focus on learning rather than making money.

Some newbies only look at profits which is not at all a good thing to begin with. Focusing on developing new skills and learning new things about forex is the way to go. Just looking at profits and money can be dangerous for them.

You don’t have to compromise with the profit margins when you clearly have the option to switch your broker. Just pick one with a lower transaction fee and you’ll be fine.

1% is fine, even 2% is the maximum that many can hope and to achieve without risking too much. I have been getting 1.5% to 2% risk management for the most of my trades and I am pretty happy with that.
And for the tip, pick one pair and try to stay trading with the same one. And consider using limit order.

I kind of agree with you on this one. I had the same issue but then a friend suggested I should move to another platform that was charging less. I also did the same a while back by shifting to Etoro and Fxview. The commissions have been low. And I only trade major currencies, mostly eurusd, so the spraed cost is also manageable. Makes a slight difference but even a marginal profit is better isn’t it?!

@Mike Absolutely why not, even if I am able to save a penny more on one platform comparatively, I am a much happier trader

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.

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.
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.

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.

Thanks for that. I was advised by my trader friends to trade simply and without risking so much at first. Trying to learn with every step of the way.
