Any successful trader with experience and expertise
in the currency trading would advise potential traders to go have a big
amount of capital or go home. This is a fact of life that a would-be
trader needs to face in order to become a success in the forex
business. Otherwise, undercapitalization could lead him to financial
suicide. He will just be wasting his money. Although it is true that
brokers allow anybody to open a forex trading account with a minimum
deposit of just $250, it does not mean that you should dive in and take
a chance. Those who do clearly do not have complete understanding of
how forex works.
To be clearer, let us consider this fact: many
professional traders trade a standard lot for every $50k in their
trading account, which means they trade one mini lot for each $5k in
their forex trading account when they traded a mini account. The point
here is, if an experienced pro like that trade that way, then why would
an inexperienced one expect to succeed by trading only $100,000
standard lot with a mere $2k account or $10,000 mini lots with $250.
As
a concerned advice from a professional trader, do not open small
standard or mini trading accounts. The foremost reason a trader fails
in the forex business is because he is undercapitalized from the
beginning. The recommended start up capital is a minimum of $100k to
open a standard account, $10k to open a mini forex account or a $1k to
open a micro account. If you already have $70,000, do not allow
yourself to become a failure, just wait awhile until to already raised
the $20k more before you start trading.
