Margin Accounts For Online Forex Trading Have Risks And Rewards

By John Eather

The benefits of online forex trading with a margin are that it allows the broker to leverage lots of currency which are as much as 100:1 the size of his deposit. This makes for very good profit potential. However with every high profit venture, comes the high risk aspect which is the other side of the coin. If a trader is not careful and does not know what he is doing he could lose his margin deposit.

Your margin deposit on a currency lot of $100 000 at 100:1 is $1 000. No one wants to lose $1 000! This is the amount you need to open a margin account with a foreign currency broker. Traders (the depositor) have to know that if a currency moves in the wrong direction, even to the extent of 1cent, they could lose their deposit, and in the process the margin account.

Stop loss order can be put in place to prevent this from happening by they are not fool-proof. However they do still allow for a certain amount of profitable trading, as well as limiting of losses.

While there are both risks and rewards when trading online in forex margin accounts, this is the case with any type of investment process if you hope to make big profits. Professionals are trading places with their jobs as doctors, accountants, lawyers and other enterprises, in the inherent belief that they can make far more money by online foreign exchange trading. They also need to take the necessary precautions to protect their investment.

As we said previously, there are both large risks and large rewards in online forex trading. Professional people are seeing the benefit in trading and are leaving traditional professions to become traders. They need to understand that it is vital to know what they are doing in order to ensure success. Stop loss orders are not the only way to protect your investment in this market. Knowledge is vital! It is important to know how to read market trends and traits, and understand how both profits and losses are made. - 23196
