For all the sifus here, please give me some advice before I commit my hard earned money..

1. Learn by myself on how to trade,
    Outcome/results: uncertain, or learn by mistakes.

Or

2. Join my friend in a forex group. Education, group discussion provided. Earn also by referring to others and earn commission(become ib). But need to open acc at least 10k.

Which one u guys will choose?
*
No. 2 sounds like MLM. Don't bother if they use EA robot to trade, you'll loss all your money sooner or later. If it works well and you earn 10k back, it's not gonna be long term. You need to know that MLM forex in Malaysia is illegal.

Tell you my brother story. He joined a group 3 years ago, ea result was good before he joined. People got 100% profit within 3 months. When my brother joined, he loss 2.5k within 2 months, and the forex group vanished.

I believe there are many MLM forex groups have the similar story. Those founders want to scam people money by using MLM, they aren't professional fx traders.

On the other hand, you can learn forex with demo account, it's free no matter how long it takes. You might know if forex is suitable for you after few months. No need throw your 10k into water.

Thanks for all the replies above. My friend is telling me this group exist for more than a year,(I don't know if I'm allowed to say the name here) and I will be depositing my money straight to the oversea broker not any 3rd parties ib. Of course they earn alot, and I guess half of it are from ppl joining them/spread. I also shocked when they are all 20ish and driving expensive cars.. My friend is a trustable friend, that's why I keep on thinking twice as he also keep saying he wants to help me. But of course I'm also afraid if anything happens and we all can't get our money back.

Drive expensive car not equal to rich. You know many MLM/marketing/insurance ppl buy expensive car just want to impress their potential customers that they are rich. You're one of their "potential customers" because of their cars smile.gif

You want to know if they are really profit? Ask your friend for his trading records since first day he trade. If he shows you, check if he use martinglae , or risk/reward like 10:1. Evaluate it or upload to here, let people discuss. But I doubt he will show you his records. If he gives excuses not to show his records, then you know what to do.

Demoing for the first time, learning the basics and also trying to familiarize with basic buying and selling. But I have parts that I'm very confused..

1. When I choose 'volume' 1.0, what does it mean? From what I saw my 1 pip = 10$?

2. Before I buy or sell, the value of spread keeps changing, how do I know which one is the spread they charge me?

3. Is there a maximum duration to hold on the pairs? Is there any recommendation or its solely depends on what type of traders you are?

Thank you in advance...smile.gif
*
1. volume 1 lot = $10 if currency related to USD. I think it's not $10 for pair like EURJPY but I am not sure, never learn to calculate it tongue.gif

2. Spread is wider when a pair in high volatility/activity. Some brokers provide fixed spread.

3. No max duration until you hit Stop Loss. When you demo for longer time, you'll know if you are scalper, swing trader, or long term trader. If you're busy, H4 is probably better choice.

1 lot is equal to 100,000 units of base currency. but the lot sometimes depends on broker also. Like instaforex, 1 lot = 10,000 units if im not mistaken. Btw, how did you open those positions, i mean whats ur strategy?  brows.gif

Actually I am also newbie, haha. Currently learning vsa, pretty hard for me. One of member here told me to learn divergence. I tried that and it has high accuracy and quite simple to spot them.

A recent divergence example:

So when is my spread amount decided? When I place my order? Or when I decided to stop loss or take profit? And where do I see them? Coz like from the screen shot I can't see where is the spread amount.

And if there's no duration to hold, why don't all the ppl just keep waiting until they reach back to winning position if they are losing?

If I'm very free, what strategy do u suggest? tongue.gif
Er then how much is the value of 1 unit of currency? Haha.
And those strategy ar..I called them total luck and speculation haha..I don't know any strategy yet la..was just trying to test how to buy and sell..smile.gif

On the chart, right click -> Trading -> New order. You can see the spread on live. Spread is decided when you execute an order. If you long for price of 1.50000 and you get 2.5 spread, you will see price of 1.50025.

If you interested in lot price calculation, you should go read babypips.com.

Pending order is another thing that confused me. This picture can help you understand how to add a pending order.

Yea I'm in the school of pipsology now haha.. Never expected it to be so much things to study!

I see so it means that the price shown when I execute a buy/sell is already added/deducted the spread?

And other than spread is there any other charges?
*
school of pipsology is really great for forex starter.

For instant execution, you can try it yourself and see what happens. Usually traders set pending order at a price target.

Forex brokers only charge spread, no other fee.

And one more question, lets say mine have 5 decimal points and the spread is 5. Then the 5 is equal to 5 pips or 5 pipettes?

If it has 5 decimal points, the last decimal is pipettes.

So the spread they showed is 5 pipettes or 5 pips?
*
Example:
GBPUSD = 1.55000, and your broker quote you 1.55025. Your spread is 2.5 pips. Understand?

Some brokers like forex4you use 4 digits system, GBPUSD is fixed to 3pips for classic accounts. So you will see 1.5500 and you get quoted by 1.5503.

hi, want to ask about pips, let say
pair A is 1.15555
pair B is 90.123
if pair A raise to 1.2000 (1.2000-1.15555)=+4445
if pair B raise to 91 (91.000-90.123)=+877
some pairs behind have 3/4/5 digits/decimals, so is it still consider as pips?
mean pair A raise 4445pips, pair B raise 877pips?
something a bit confuse about pips, since some pairs have different decimals
*
It depends on brokers. Some use 4 digits while others use 5 digits. Your pair A example is incorrect, I assume you mean 1.20000 - 1.15555 which is 5 digits. It is 444.5 pips. The last digit is called pipette.
