How big was your Forex Account when you Started?

[DickP]

what's the safest amount to start an account?

$10,000 is a completely safe and reasonable amount

[ChartWizQ]

$10000 is an unrealistic figure for many of first time investors and may scare off more people to this than not Dick.

I started with $200, all was wiped away, another $500 thesame thing, now i put in $200 again, just left with $24,,,,, but with the help am geting from forex forums, i see to it that i will make it. so am not giving up! Cheers

My account was $2000

[RCR2009]

Started off with $7,500. made it over a few times, lost it and working on re-organizing / re evaluating and going back to what worked before.

Exactly. For your everday college student trying to start forex as main job, $10,000 is pocket change! I wanna know how some people made such large gains their first month.

I started out with only $1000 and turned it into $2000 the first month, i had ups and downs but Im doing much better now

still trading demo yo

[chrizzy]

Only on demo trading but a friend of mine can't remember the size of his account, only the feeling of devastation when he lost it.

But that did not stop him from trading, said that blowing up the first account was actually worth it in the long run.

start with $20 up to $100 in cent type account to feel how is trading your real money.

it will be 2000-10000 to trade!

just feel it first...

[DarkManFX]

I started out with a $100 and i lost it quickly. want to try again soon.

[paphapeach]

[propJOE]

I opened an account with $3000 just yesterday. Could'nt start to trade with it as its friday already. I would start fully on monday. in the next 3 days. Anybody got ideas for me?
<-------------------------------------------------------------------->
mine is $3000 still stagnant cos i am yet to place a trade with it.

I first started my account with $500, and so far it hasn't gone anywhere. still a lot to learn I suppose

I must say that forex is cool business but it is filled with paths that must be threaded with caution. i could say that $3000 is a safe amount to start with

[Slurpee]

This is actually a great thread! Honest post can save a lot of money to newbie traders...

I lost like 1000 USD on Zulu. Before that I lost about 300 USD on my first account... then started to take it seriously and learned more... now from 170 USD to 2300 (as of now) in three and smt monhts. But with strict MM, SLs and so on... The learning process is neccessary, to somebody it could take a few months, to me it took years

I jumped in just over a year ago and lost $500.00. By the time I realized I was still wet under the collar I had lost another $600.00.
I have been paper trading since then now 11 months. Even though I'm now making money paper trading I'm not doing any real trading until another three months maybe four.

working with $500 account now

I deposited $2000 into my first Forex account and I am doing really well with the same initial deposit.
