Mini Forex Trading-Forex Market is now open for all
One of the best ways to get started in Forex trading is to begin by investing in a Forex mini account. You can open a mini account with as little as $250, and even $100 with some services. In contrast, a normal Forex account usually requires a minimum of $2,500 to open an investment in. And with a mini account, you will still enjoy most of the same privileges of a regular account holder. In a standard Forex account, the lot or trading contract size amounts to 10,000 units of the base currency--in the case of USD, that would amount to $10,000. A mini Forex account handles only a percentage of a single lot, which specifically means that mini account contract is one-tenth the size of a regular Forex contract. The pip values in mini Forex trading are also one-tenth the normal value. Getting into mini account trading essentially means that you are engaging in marginal trading. That means that you are leveraging your trades, that is, borrowing money to be able to perform a trade without having to put in the full amount required for a single lot. The money that you do put in from your own pocket is known as a marginal lot. For a mini account, the marginal lot for every $10,000 lot is $50, or a 200 to 1 leverage. When you start a mini account with a minimum of $250, you are trading five mini lots. You may be concerned that the mini account requires a fairly large degree of leverage, 200 to 1. (In contrast, when day trading on stocks the leverage ratio is only 4 to 1 within a single trading day.) For obvious reasons, it is usually not an ideal proposition to take on a large amount of leverage in your investments. But this is the standard practice in mini Forex trading and is not considered over-leveraging. Also, the investor’s risk on a mini account is actually offset by the lower possible losses one can face in mini trading. The average loss in mini Forex trading is one-tenth the amount that would be lost in an equivalent trade on a regular Forex account. Because of this, it is easier to exercise a more disciplined trading strategy, as an investor generally finds it easier to let go of a small loss, whereas a larger loss may prompt a trader to hold on to a lot longer than one should (a bad trading strategy). Furthermore, because the high leverage in mini Forex trading allows you to trade a number of lots for a correspondingly small amount, the investor has more options and trading strategies available. Mini Forex accounts are the recommended investment option for someone who wants to invest $10,000 or less in Forex trading. Using a mini account will allow an investor more staying power in the market as well as the ability to engage in multiple trades without over-leveraging. |
