Now that you have practiced trading currency and set up your live account, it is time to truly enter this profitable yet risky world. To make money with Forex, you do need to have money to begin with. It is possible to trade with very small amounts of money, but this will also lead to very small profits. As is with many other exchange systems, high payouts will only come with high risks. You can't expect to start getting millions as soon as you put money in to the market, but you can't expect to make any money at all if you don't put in at least a 3-digit value.
For a Buy 2 lots EUR/USD� position the transaction size is 200,000 EUR which corresponds to 220,000 USD, given a EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.10000. Considering that for a USD 100,000 transaction size commission is charged for both opening and closing the position at USD 5 each, for this transaction it will be: 2 x (5 x 220,000 / 100,000) = 22 USD. The commission fee is deducted from the account during the opening of the transaction for both the operations at once (opening and closing).
Furthermore we like to draw our clients attention to the fact that large price gaps may occur between the market closure on Friday 5 May at 21:00 GMT and market opening on Sunday 7 May. Holding any position over the weekend may lead to substantial losses even if leverage use is reduced.
However not all practice tools are the same. Some only offer training or practice during market hours with certain restrictions. In these tools, there is no possibility to rehearse or use the standard technical analysis tools. The practice obtained at market's pace makes learning a slow and miserable experience. Therefore, it is important to get hold of practice tools that allows you to practice at your own convenience at any time during the day. These tools will allow you to get used to a certain scenario if required with the possibility of practicing the same repeatedly. The best thing about these kind of Forex practice tools is the possibility of practicing at the required pace as desired by you.
