Hello,
May i ask one simple question that people always ask i, i guess...
What is the minimal cost to start involve in FOREX trading?
I would love to gain confident first before putting more money in this.
Thank you.
Regarding to this question, first you must ask yourself how much you afford to loss without affecting your life, how much risk you willing to take, whats the position size you wanna trade (0.01, 0.10 or 1 standard lot), etc etc.
If you really want the answer, some brokers allow you to start with 1usd for micro-account or cent account, means you trade with cents... you can trade with this if you wanna get the real account feeling, but i doubt u will feel anything with just trading cents, you maybe will feel waste of time.
Some will suggest you to start with demo account, but demo is not real money so one can simply trade without thinking, overtrade and oversize, so that doesn't help or learn much if you are not treat it as real account or no disipline.
From my personal view, start with 1000 usd with 0.01 lot. That's what I am comfortable with. Its up to you actually.
Some pros here may not agree with me, they may trade with 10,000 usd account, or even 100k

. Again, it just personal view.
