Trading Forex Mini experiment

Currency trading is new to me but I do have some experiance in trading stocks. I am learning how to trade forex using demo accounts. I am opening some demo accounts to try do some practice trading and to test their trading systems. I am not going to go with regular account yet. But I would try the forex mini first becasue less risky than the standard forex. And you only need few hundreds to start with.

Why trade forex mini account:

1. 24/7
2. few
3. leverage
4. no comission only spread
5. less risk and exposure,since 1 mini pip = $ 1
6. to test the water and the trading platform
7. Only 1/10 the size of standard forex account.


Although forex can have great potential in rewards but so as the risk.
You want spread the risk by applying accounts with different forex brokers.
Be sure to read the forex advisory first before investing.
