I have people around me who have done better with less capital, hence why I wanted to try my luck as well =)
according to me, traders should choose the broker which is more appropriate to the concept of trading that will be used.
%% SCHW; IBKR. Dont use leverage learning , why leverage ignorance?? Good question, frankly Pozexis,you are not aware of the risks, we know that by what you wrote+ no such thing as luck. Trend follower John Henry said with a rebuke ''what you call luck i call a small sample''
%% ACTUALLY , good idea; less is= > more when learning. Actually less is more when trading when it comes to losses; investments, investments like REAL ESTATE, losses seldom make a difference, on the right side of trend. Common sense applies to ANY market,investment business LOL; a HI crime neighborhood trend change could ruin anything\ even though2nd ammendment can stop that + solve many problems .
I ended up working with lqdfx, their micro account leverage is 1:1000. Started trading with $500 to learn the ins and outs, get a bit of experience and overall trading
I started trading XAUUSD and couple of indicies (since they are swap free). I thought working with the volatile pairs would make me better understand and learn. We'll see how it goes.
