Win or lose the forex dealer gets their money. And first starting out I highly recommend doing mini lots(10000 of currency). Some recommend turning your leverage rate down from a 50:1 to a 20:1. But I personally never had a problem with it. Opening a practice account is your best bet. Also picking a few pairs to start with like USD/JPY or GBP/USD for starters, and seeing what economic data it's sensitive to. If you pick USD/JPY what for treasury data in the next 48 hrs, cause USD/JPY is very sensitive to Us Treasury data.
yea ive been reading alot lately and keep reading that opening a practice account is a must for newbs. will start a practice account later today when im off work. what brokerage do you use if you dont mind me asking? and what made you choose them?
