Trading is The amount of money you need
to place a trade (known as "margin") is all that can be lost ! You
have to know, that despite the super-high leverage offered by some Forex
brokers up to (400:1); meaning if you put up $ 1000 the broker will allow you
to trade like you really have $400.000). arihant
magazine Forex trading is still less riskier than
Stock or Futures Trading, where you can loose more than you have deposited in
your account. This type of LEVERAGE does NOT EXIST in the equities or futures
market In the Equities or Futures markets, very often, sudden and dramatic
moves occur, against which you can’t protect yourself, even by having placed
your protective stops. Your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you’ll be
liable for any resulting deficit in the account. But because of the FX market’s
deep liquidity and 24-hour, continuous trading, dangerous trading gaps and
limit moves are almost eliminated. focus
magazine Orders are executed quickly, without
slippage or partial fills. And finally, there are no margin calls. For your
protection, the broker will automatically close out some or all of your open
positions if your account equity falls below the level required to hold the
positions. Think of this as a final, automatic stop, always working on your
behalf to prevent a debit balance.
Currencies are traded in dollar amounts called “ LOTS” In Forex trading,
with most Brokers, you have the choice between 2 different lot sizes. Standard
Lots or Mini Lots. One Standard lot is equal to $100,000 in currency. The
margin requirements, using a 400:1 Leverage, would be US$ 250, in other word
you control $100,000 worth of currency for only 250 US dollars. competition
focus You mean, depositing $250 with a broker, I
could trade 100,000$ worth of currency ??? NO, be aware, that your account size
has to be more than the required margin of US 250. For example, if you place an
order to buy 1 Standard lot ( @100,000) of USD/JPY and USD/JPY is quoted as
112.10/112.13, you buy USD/JPY at 112.13 best
