    so true. Im new for trading. I start my account with 200$ and in the past 5 month grow up to 600$ step by step. of course its not a money for living but I was able to gain some skills, experience and most importantly my confidence.

      This was great, I've been looking for "pips forex trading" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Menabeth Pips Parapraxis - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got excellent success with it.

    Nick it’s all about how you approach forex in the first place. if you chasing a lifestyle then compound interest won’t work for someone who wants to start posting on Instagram his flashy new lifestyle. But if your approach is business based you will appreciate 2% gain because you mentally prepared for the long journey. Well it’s how I approached trading after a year of stupid mistakes

    as a future trader since over 8 years I can say its a good explanation why so many people crashes their small accounts , why ? because they want to make millions or at least want to make a living from trading with a 1000 dollar account what is not possible. that's why they start gambling with 10% risk per position. you never get successful this way. all you can do with 1000 dollars is grow that account and maybe one day when you account hits 30k or more and you make your 10% a month , congratulations then you are a professional trader. greetings

      Believe it or not, around 80% of retail forex traders are actually losing money when trading forex. The main reason is that these traders are not prepared to trade on high volatility periods, and that they tend to be too greedy.

    You are so right about it. I have other business as well. Most of the ppl not in the business construed us as we are making shocking income and still lay low. Trading is not a certainty but a probability. Almost everyone I met would be very interested to approach for the topic. Many are trying to step in without knowing the details or put in the patience to learn and end up losing money. I tried many ways to explain. Your video is a good wake up call to share with them.

PS: I heard the part were you said you are not so good at math and I could totally relate. It's however hilarious how a lot of people think that you need to know a lot about Math to Trade the Forex market. I think you should make a video explaining this myth.

    To be sincere, Nick, that leverage has really put me in trouble, as a beginner. All my account was blown out in just few days. But now, since I have been watching your videos, I have been so confidence in trading than before because the risk involved in my trade is not too much; It's affordable and bearable for me. If I have $50-dollar account, and I am risking $3 dollars, I think this is not too much for me. Thanks a lot. This is reality video, please.

    I like the way you say. I didn't know this now I really understand this and I really happy about this, we must don't risk too much risk lots size because if you have small accounts it will blow all accounts. We must risk small lots size until we grow account. I was ask myself why I lose too much money because I risk too much then I find risk small lots size and grow account the day or week

  • @MPlain
    @MPlain 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    i keep my max loss under 5% of my account. what i play for lots kind of depends on what kind of SL i am willing to tolerate. Generally i work with a 20 SL usually. Where my loss tolerance gets really tested is when i have multiple positions. This is where i take advantage of leverage. Leverage allows me to have more positions. I have some running for days....months... and i do play short trades of a few hours. so...i love having the leverage allowance to this sort of thing.
