sorry to hear that but that is quite a sad case to see... but I am using the Demo account now and has been with it for almost a month now while doing some research and studies on chart analysis. usually can get 10-20pips whenever I try the Demo in that day. I still havent really  got the full confidence yet but I would like to know what is the choices I have now. Hopefully in the next 2-3months, I can start an account.

So, any ideas on the broker guys??

I'm using ICMarkets. Don't start a live account after a few months of demo trading. Because the market changes and you can't possibly know how the market works in that short timeframe.

I was like you, demo traded and grew my account up to 100% after a few months of trading. Thought I knew what I was doing then jumped to live trading. That's when my losing streak began, unfamiliar market environments got the better of me. Thankfully now I've found the light at the end of the tunnel.

I see... Thanks for the info. I do understand n heard some of the story that many did successfully in Demo but then failed when doing it Live. Maybe is due to the emotions when v r playing with real money that is why.... that's why many of them says that come out with the capital which you are ready to loss; not thinking on how much you are going to loss...

Any tips on how and when i should starts? And then again, any good suggestion on Forex brokers in Malaysia?

Yes, I agree some people find it harder to manage their emotions when trading live. But even while I was trading demo, I treated it in all seriousness as if I was dealing with real money. Had sleepless nights trading demo too, that's how serious I was tongue.gif But again my undoing was that I just didn't have enough experience before jumping into trading live.

In my opinion, you should at least try demo trading for 1 year, at least at the end of it if you're still profitable consistently then you can go live. Or if you really have money you're willing to lose, then there's nothing stopping you from trading live as well.

I don't know about forex brokers in Malaysia, mine is based in australia. But XM seems to be the favorite here in this forum.

Correct! Prices are normally quoted in 5 decimal places. For YEN associated pairs, they are quoted in 3 decimal places.

This is the universal rule :-
0.0001 = 1 pip
0.00001 = 1 pipette
