Sell limit activated at 1.2468. Aiming for 200pips
Normeck answer your first half. The second half I answer for him. The smallest you can start even with RM 10.
If you r new, recommended to trade micro account, fund with USD 10 - 20. And try to trade it. But trade in demo before you go real. Why? At least you r familiar with how to trade, and what is going on in the market.

When is the G7? Where to see?

You LONG GbpUsd at 1.5534 with 1 standard lot (10000unit)

Means you need to have USD 15534 to buy that position.

With leverage 100:1, you only need USD155.34 in your account to open tat position.

That is the use of leverage.

Isn't it obvious? It is lot size. Juz try to click buy or sell then you will know it. That is the usage of demo for you.... 

@those that are starting demo
its better to read www.babypips.com first as it teaches u a huge lot about trading forex.. Its better to use this time to learn and trade better next time rather then just simply clicking here n there without a clue and later when u start live ur account go down the toilet in a matter of days..

@chicaman
for now ur experiencing the winning side since u remain very optimistic about forex being an easy way to earn money. Once u get into a losing streak the stress level is unbearable..

Very interesting to see such bull chart in USD/CAD pair.
Will consider to short it when it reach between fibo 61.8 and above 100MA.

any opinion for today eur/usd?

ARGHHH !!!!! EU missed my limit order by about 10 pips.. T_T

@dreams_achiever
i'm a student =)

@chicaman
do u even know what a limit order is? Please try to be like dreams_achiever and learn forex instead of asking questions where a simply google search could answer you. No offence mate but i think its better for all of us actually and you will benefit from learning it yourself. I would be glad to guide u in things that u read but do not understand but please make some effort.

Limit order is when u set a specific point to buy or sell once the target is reached.. i set mine at 1.2605 for EU to sell.. it  didn't reach that target.. instead it only reached 1.2595 before going downwards..

depends on each broker.. i paid using bank wire (TT ) .. some accept paypal.. not aware of credit cards..

having holiday now.. anyway forex is a form of study.. i'm looking for sources to earn money in the time i have rather then next time when i work i have very little time.. I'm not saying forex is an easy income but i'm in the learning phase.. i started this account with small amounts in hope it will grow..
