currently selling audusd @0.7208. sl0.7238 tp0.7168. any thoughts to share?
*
The price seems like going upwards for daily chart. Perhaps it will move lower when it hit resistance level of 0.73618.

The movement trend looks very choppy for me.

My support level for AUDUSD is 0.69375.

My trade view is buy when the price move to my support level

Hi guys new trader here have some questions about leverage.
Understand that leverage only good to let u open more/larger position with less equity.
With high leverage broker would require less margin for your position, which allow orders survive longer in the market.
Can I conclude that higher leverage is always better if u open small lot with good risk management?
*
There are some brokers who can provide 1:500 leverage, so people who are interested in investing in forex can start up with a small capital.

The risk are more or less the same if you are going to start with a higher capital. If your start up capital reach certain boundry then the there will be lesser leverage given to u, i.e. If you have made a deposit of 100k USD, u can no longer trade with 0.01 lot, you have to trade with 10.00 lot.

There's nothing wrong with opening an account using 100 dollars. But will you want to slowly grow your account given that your return is roughly 10% monthly which is 10$ per month? Or trade with a 10,000 account and gain 1000$ per month?

That is entirely up to your interest in forex. For educational purpose or take a chance.

Also, the market is extremely volatile. Some broker only provides smaller pips for the currency pair (price movement of 0.00001) or larger pips (0.0001 price movement) but the catch is that the larger pips brokers often do not provide big leverage, which means your lot size have to increase for each trade, so ur account will burn out faster with ur 100$. So choose ur broker wisely and know what type of account they are providing.

If u r going to open an account, dont bother ur broker who keep asking u to deposit more $$. U must maintain ur status quo, or else u will burn ur $$ faster.

Have a good read.

hello guys, I am sort of new here to Forex Trading, I am trying to learn some basics, I am going through babypips website as well.

In Malaysia there are a lot of groups also in facebook as well. People there invest in groups and share profits as well. Can anyone recommend some reliable groups to join and invest and also anyone here in forum doing that as well? By joining also I would learn lively instead of a demo account and on the real life process.

I know its a very volatile and risky market, I am trying to gain anything lavish I just want some modest/side income, if anyone interested to take me up in a group or be a partner, I would really appreciate it .

Hi, it's possible to earn side income as a forex trader, but it would mean unstable income. U should think of it as an alternative investment other than FD due to it's potential of higher returns.

Think about how u grow ur $$ instead of treating it as ur only source of income. I believe many of us in here still have a job to support their lives.

Try to have a read on how market works, tune into news and economical calendar.

Try to read our posts if u can, maybe u can find out how we trade.

Thanks for the link and good explanation.  thumbup.gif I have another question, say I have an open position 0.1 lot with leverage 200, broker will reserve $50 as margin. My initial equity is $200 and after the position opened my equity balance will become $150. If the market moves against me 150pips, (0.1 lot 1pip worth usd 1), my position will be closed with $150 loss and my account will be left with $50, is my assumption correct?
*
To be honest, i dont really go by the book. The details r too extensive that u will have hard time to comprehend.

So, assuming u have $150 and ur broker can let u trade 0.01 lot. Will u open a trade with 1.00 lot? With such volatile market? It could burn up in the first few minutes.

U could have probably used 0.15~0.30 depends on ur risk appetite. So in turn u can survive for 120$/0.15 lot which equals to roughly 600~700 of price movement (0.0001) before the price return to ur favourable direction.

As u move on to get a larger account, u can trade bigger lot. Assume u have a 12,000$ account, with the above formula, u can probably trade with 15.00~30.00 lots, but maintain the same exposure of risk which also subject to 600~700 price movement before it turn into ur expected direction.

U can memorize by the gut. It is just common sense anyway...
