1. The Money You Use In Forex Trading
Like other investment invitations that are not guaranteed, it's often simpler to find the disclaimers
made by Forex business people than the benefits offered by Forex. Use the tips below to cut through
some of the lingo and consider what money you are risking in order to participate in Forex trading.
When it comes to Forex, trading bigger is better in terms of the amount of money invested in foreign
currencies because small fluctuations in currency can result in bigger wins since an investor would
own a larger lot size of the currency, a lot being the number of units of a particular currency. But of
course these fluctuations can also result in bigger losses. It is important to realize how small the wins
can be if you only have a small amount of money that you're willing to risk in Forex because your
potential to make money may not and usually is not outweighed by the investment of time you will
spend in monitoring your Forex account in order to achieve the small wins.
Leveraging money in order to participate in Forex is common. Leveraging money or buying on margin
are different ways of describing loans extended to investors so that they can increase the amount of
money they have to invest. This is critical to understand because loans have to be paid back. When
you read about the ease with which you can buy on margin or leverage your available funds in order
to participate in Forex, you are risking losing more than you have because regardless of whether your
investment pays off you have to pay back the money you've borrowed.
One of the worst vehicles to use for risky investments is money in your individual retirement account.
Unfortunately, the temptation to make more than the pennies in traditional interest that can be earned
on IRA accounts has led to products that allow investors to trade in foreign currencies using their IRA
dollars.
Disclaimers in the event of hardware and software problems are almost always included in your
agreement with any provider of services that you will use in connection with your foreign currency
trades. This means that if a trade fails to go through or if there is some other issue with executing
your wishes using a particular service or software you are out of luck.
Forex traders, brokers, dealers, should always be checked as thoroughly as possible to avoid scams.
Scams that recently have made the news include Ponzi schemes. These situations arise when an

2. investor hands over money to a broker who claims they will invest in Forex. In fact the investment is
not made and the broker produces "earnings" for the investor by getting a second investor to invest
with him and using the second investor's money to pay off the first investor. As in all Ponzi schemes,
eventually the amount being paid out is not covered by the amount being brought in. These schemes
operate independently of the Forex market. Things to watch out for in order to avoid Ponzi schemes
advertising themselves as Forex investment services include guarantees of income, lack of an
established reputation or current complaints against the broker.
Credit cards are accepted by some Forex account companies to fund your Forex account. Call your
credit card company in advance to find out if there are additional fees involved in using your credit
card to fund your Forex account.
Forex trading where you're hoping to make money based on increases or decreases in the value of
two paired currencies are an extremely risky form of investment. Use the tips above to consider
where the money you might invest in Forex will come from and whether such investment makes
sense for you.
