IGNORING LEVERAGE: WHY MOST NEW FOREX TRADERS FAIL

Almost all of the  professional FOREX traders and money managers trade one standard lot for every $50,000 in their account.
Whenever they traded a mini account, this means they trade one mini lot for every $5,000 in their account.
Think a moment.
When pros trade like this, why do less experienced FOREX traders think they can succeed by trading 100K standard lots with a $2,000 account or 10K mini lots with $250?
It is not a serious matter what the FOREX brokers tell you. Never open a “standard account” with just $2,000 or a “mini account” with $250. Heck, sometimes you may be able to open accounts with just $25.
The most important cause is new traders fail is not because they suck, but because they are undercapitalized from the start and don’t understand how leverage really works.



Don’t set yourself up to fail.


Our suggestion is that you have at least have $100,000 of trading capital before opening a standard account, $10,000 for a mini account, or $1,000 for a micro account.
Yes, open an account only when you are consistently good.
Thus, whenever you only have $60,000, open a mini account. If you only have $8,000, open a micro account. If you only have $250, open a demo account and stick with it until you come up with the additional $750, then open a micro account. If you have $1, find a job.
When forget anything else in this lesson, at least remember what you just read above.
Off course, please re-read the previous paragraph and ingrain it in your memory. Just because brokers allow you to open an account with only $25 does NOT mean you should.
These are the reasons:
Our believe is most new traders who open a FOREX trading account with the bare minimum deposit do so because they don’t completely understand what the terms “leverage” and “margin” really are and how it affects their trading.

This is very important that you’re fully aware and free of ignorance of the significance of trading with leverage. When have not rock solid understanding of leverage and margin, we guarantee that you will blow your trading account properly.
