Approaching Forex Capital Markets the Smart Way
It is all down to research and just how much you can do. It is also down to a little honest to goodness self appraisal of your current position and what you are capable of achieving in the market situation. First and foremost, before you do any sort of research, you really have to know what it is that you are looking for, and focused searching of information means you will not be wasting time later on simply shifting through all the information and the data that you do not need.
You need to keep in mind five things when you are doing this and this includes things like in identifying the trade, analysing it thoroughly, subjecting it to financial analysis and assessing the potential trade against market conditions and managing the open position until you exit the trade. With these systems, data mining and researching would be much more targeted than you realise. This is because as you run through the five steps, you realise that each and every one of them produces a list which will the be able to help you to identify which information you will need to further and enhance your trading.
Also, you need to be honest with yourself and assess the size of your trading capital. You cannot trade in every opportunity, so you are financial limited, just like almost all traders out there so you need to be smart about the trades that you do enter. You also need to make the decision on just how much data is right for you to gain enough leverage and wisdom about the market. Some smart traders go into a market segment and concentrate their efforts there, and with that, they make alot more winning trades. Also, knowing what your trading style is, is also one of the more important things out there. It really is all about your approach, and I cannot stress this more with the people who are joining the Forex market for the first time.
Getting around the indices and currency exchange rate requires that you have a compass that shows you the way. There are so many good things about the Forex market, it is liquid, it has a zero sum game, its over the counter, it exists in a free market environment, its about as close to a perfect competition zone as you can get and it is one of the most liquid markets in the world. Already, with these things on hand, you have a market that is truly worth the time and expense of learning how to trade with currencies from all over the world. If you want to succeed in something you need to work smart not hard. You need to prioritise, forecast and decide.
These are the three steps any Forex investor will take on a daily basis. Approaching Forex capital markets the smart way is all dependent on you and how much you want to succeed. That is the driving force of triumphs all over the world.

Help answer the question about forex capital
What is the minimum capital needed for forex, options and futures trading ? Free and recommended simulators ?Hello guys,
I'm interested in learning more about forex, options and futures trading. I heard that there are mini or micro account that can go as little as US$ 200 or 300 dollar. Is it true ?
Also, any recommendations for free forex, options and futures trading simulators ? I know that some websites provide this service but usually the virtual capital is too high (10K or up), and I want to set the initial capital to small amount like US$ 300 or 500.
If possible, is there any recommendations for courses/books ? I'm not aiming for those "fancy" amount of income, several thousand/month is OK. Of course I'm not looking for courses that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars…
Thanks for the input. I agree that it's a bit too much to expect thousands of returns for such a small amount of capital.
But, if I expect my capital which is around 300 or 500 to be doubled by around 1-2 month. Doesn't is sound possible ????
My plan is actually something like this :
The capital will be 300 or 500. The goal is to double the capital by around 1 – 2 mounth(s).
When I have more money, I will buy more lots…
To make it safer, every time I manage to double the previous capital, I will do one more time before I plan to use more capital to trade.
It will be something like this (US$500 capital) :
500 – 1000 – 1000 (don't use for trading) – 2000 – 2000(don't use for trading) – 4000 and so on …
Now the problem is to find the system that are able to do this… Any recommendations ?
I personally distrust systems that cost hundreds or thousands or dollars. There are simply too many scams…

You can put on your tax return, but only to offset the capital gains on another forex/securities related trade.

To make profits without losing your capital from Forex Trades is something I thought is not possible.
But my forex trader friends who are professionals tell me that capital preservation is possible. in fact, money and risk management is important to survive long term in forex trading.
I looked at the site above and the Lethal Forex System looks good.

nice twisting of the language there!
"38% compounded monthly" = 38% if you assume 12 compounding periods per year.
but anyway -
if you want to start a hedge fund, i hope you have one heck of a pedigree, and a bunch of seed capital yourself. you'll probably spend (minimum) $250k just on lawyers, and it will take nearly a year to get the proper approvals. then you can start trying to collect ~$10m (minimum) to get decent rates and execution from your prime. the first year, just to break even (assuming a 50% annual return) you'll probably need to get 3/30 in fees.
oh, and by the way – if there was any part of that you didn't understand, figure on at least another $100k to the lawyers.

There really is nothing you can do. He is determined and will resent your interference. The three things in life that are additive to men. Women- drugs/alcohol- gambling Not all men are additive to all three but each has its own power to destroy. He is on the gambling faze. Let him loose his money and you should learn and realize the power of the three of them. I have one friend who has all three mess him up. He smokes marijuana daily for 25 year, has traded futures for over 10 years loosing untold thousands and has a wife, soon to be ex-wife that is going to take what ever he has left.

Hey BaerMichaelE,
I am honestly not sure. In my experience with FXCM everything has been fast and reliable. I personally do not trade Forex however. If you are having a problem I strongly encourage you to post your concern in the FXCM Discussion Thread at InformedTrades and contact their management team.

$800 is fine for opening your mini account.
You can utilize leverage as low as 1:1 with most any broker and you can go as high as 200:1 or even 400:1.
Rather than focusing on the leverage, what you should actually be focusing on is the margin.
At a 5% margin on an $800 account you would be positioning $40 into the trade. At a 1:1 leverage you would be controlling only $40 of currency (less the spread or "commission"). At a 100:1 leverage you would be controlling $4000 of currency with the same $40.
I would be happy to send you some more info if this is confusing for you.

Do sign up with a reputable brokerage. Such scenarios do happen often if you sign up with a dodgy brokerage.

How come there is so much negative reviews for fxcm. It seems everyplace I look is referring to the broker as a scam
