most of the junior Forex trader think only $5000 is more enough to bring any kind of amount you want , but in practical this is not true , balance is not a big deal in there , need a long time experience with powerful trading strategy.
You can not just directly sum and substract % If you lose 10%, you will need to make 11% to be back where you started. Loss of 25%, need a 33% gain to recover... Loss of 50%, need a good round 100% gain to breakeven. Leverage in FX is a killer, and without it you're often looking at paint dry when compared to other markets.
generally we the traders when making losses try to recover this losses by over trading , its a very bad dedicated decision and at the end of the day we lost whole equity.
Exactly, when over-trading arises then a trader only faces loss, it is better to be patient while placing trades.
the newcomers always try to trade with high leverage , but in practically they for all time fall a great trouble when using high leverage.
