Hello guys. I have been reading thru this thread, a few threads at nogold.com, and been schoolin' myself up at babypips.com.

I do understand some of the basics, but I suppose I hafta finish up at babypips.com ( still at between 1st and 3rd Grade, heheh! ) before going for a demo account.

It seems that the most popular traders around here is : Northfinance ( NF ), Marketiva and InterbankFX. I am really dumb in Net moolah transactions, and I do not understand how to we take out our money from e-gold to our bank acc here in Malaysia?

By the way, I can't find Marketiva's demo account, only NF and InterbankFX. Which of these would be the best demo acc I should go for ( as I understand that having MetaTrader 4 is a plus, and Marketiva doesn't utilise MT4, rite? Only NF and InterbankFX rite? )

For those who have successfully trade a live acc for quite some time, how's the return like, especially for day traders ( as I do not want to take unnecessary risks, rather have small revenue daily rather having the risk of gaining more revenue at higher risks )? Maybe when I have enough understand on forex and how it works, I'll open up a mini acc woth USD 250.00 and later boosting it up to USD 500.0.

One of the stuffs I don't really get about these live accounts is, how does the leverage works? Thing like you got like, example :

Cash in acc : USD 1000.00
Commit for trading : USD 500.00 ( the rest left for the dreaded margin call? )
From the USD 500.00 committed for trading, how does the calculation works? 1 : 10? 1 : 100? 1 : 1000?

I read that there are online classes by local ppl here on forex, are they any good? Any recommendation? Reviews?

Hi hamster9, thanks for your comments. Yeah, I've read around that Marketiva's Streamster is pretty easy to understand, but not as detailed and technical as Metatrader 4 platform, which is siad to be much more detailed ( well, I dunno lah. They say wan.. )

Wah, 100+ pips? How much converted to USD? Live acc or demo?

One thing I read around ( too! ), is that demo acc varies a lot from live / real acc, is it true?

I have read sumthing else around about forex. best thing is : don't be greedy. Better earn less rather than later on lose too much, right?

Oh, what the hell, I'm going for a NF demo account now!

Ah! I really don't get this Meta4 platform! How to do buy and sell? Pening!

Yep, the buying / selling page goes up.

Example, for EUR/USD, selling price is 1.3281, buying price is 1.3283.
Let's say I wanna sell,
Volume : how do I set this?
Stop Loss : ?
And the maximum deviation, pun confuse lah...
