hmm.. don't really understand this thing QUOTE If you use high leverage and get super lucky. Let's say you leverage your positions at 100:1. That means that if you start with $1,000, at full margin, you can trade $100,000 of currency.
So, if you have $1,000 to trade and you want to buy Euros for example, if the EUR/USD pair is at 1.20 and it rises to 1.21 in ten minutes you make a $1,000 profit. You double your initial investment in just ten minutes! why does it meant by having $1000 but can trade $100k? is this means i just pump in 1k, and i have 100k as capital? if i lose all 100k, then i have to pay additional 99k?? haha.. any good sites that allow me to play a demo account??

QUOTE(Minimayo @ Nov 23 2006, 02:38 PM) To make it easy , let's say u have deposited $1000 (USD) and u open a position for 20000 quantities = ( 200usd) . At the PortFolio it will show that your Used Margin : 200.00 and Available Margin : xxx - (Amount after deduct your Used Margin and Total Profit) Example : GBP/USD [Bid = 1.9143] [Offer = 1.9148] You Short on G/U at 1.9143 with 200 USD and u will see a -5 pips because of the 5 pips spread. What will show in your Portfolio is like below : [USD 1000.0000] Used Margin : 200.0000 Available Margin : 790.00 Total Profit : -10.00 ok ok.. i get it.. it was buy: 1.9148 * 20000 = 38296 sell: 1.9143 * 20000 = 38286 so, i'll lose $10 correct?

using marketiva right?
no, it won't clean up.
there is 3 or 4 tabs for u to chose and see.
the 1 your looking at probably is the trading that you had done, for example what price you buy and what price you sell, both in 2 rows.
there is a tab which shows you the price you buy and sell in single row.
