I just started forex trading. Need help.

by **Roboticfx** on Tue Oct 18, 2011 9:53 pm

I registered with etoro and opened a forex trading account today but I have no idea how do I credit my account. Still I don't have a credit card. I also want to know what's the difference between buy orders and sell orders here. They are totally different from stock market orders as via sell orders, a quantity is added to my account as well as buy orders.
What's the meaning of X25, X50 in the frame of putting orders? And I also get to know
what is the duration of the market which is kept open?
Why all amount in my account is cancelled in the weekend?
At what time does weekend starts?(sri lankan time)
How can I withdraw my money?(I meant ways)
I tried to connect my paypal account with my bank account and also tried to send funds through my bank account to paypal, but I didn't see even one option. If anyone knows how to do this please explain me soon.

According to my knowledge etoro doesn't supply a good platform to start trading for a beginner use some MetaTrader4 broker because if you have even a little technical knowledge you will find it easy to apply your technical skills here. I think you can apply for a credit card if you can deposit a certain amount of money through some major banks as well as their is an option called 'Sampath Web Card' for online/international transactions. Don't use Paypal to deposit/withdraw your money because currently Paypal doesn't allow to withdraw fund to Sri Lanka, what you can do is only spend through Paypal, Use Moneybooker instead.

DUDE... you sounds like you know Nothing about forex. get a free practice account... almost every forex trader provide practice accounts.

Learn it.. Learn and learn... please before you put your hard earned money.

It is not like CSE... in CSE atleast you keep your shares... in FOREX You can loose all your money in no time.

PAYPAL is a good way. dont know it is availiable in SL. But i know almost all the lankans with e toro.

DUDE Please dont loose... Learn it.

I have used eToro with a demo account.. I m no expert but I think I can answer some of ur queries.

FOREX is done with currency pairs (e.g EUR/USD). The price is quoted as EUR/USD = 1.378 (for a example). When u place a buy order u are buying EUR against USD @ 1.378. When u place a sell order u are selling EUR against USD @ 1.378 (this is kinda like a short selling in stocks). If u opened a "buy order" and the price starts to rise (lets say to 1.380) u will be gaining. If u open a "sell order" and the prices start falling (lets say to 1.37) u will be gaining. In short if u expect the EUR to rise against the USD open a buy order and if u expect EUR to fall against the USD open a sell order. Also note that the price for the buy order and the sell order wont be the same. There will be a small difference (this is called the spread)

The X20 X50 are leverage ratios. More the ratio the more u can invest with a given capital. Using high leverage gives u high risk and return.

The market is opened 24hours during the weekdays and closes for the weekend. All the trades which are open when the market closes will be automatically canceled.

I have not done money transactions since I have only used a dummy account. But from what I have read the easiest way to do it is via a credit card. U can use PayPal but as fall as I know there are some restrictions for money withdrawal from paypal in sri lanka.

Get some practice using the demo account be4 investing real money. There are many sites to help but I found that www.babypips.com/ to be a really good starting point.

All the best Wink

I have planned to enter with only 50 USD. Not more than that. My first few trades done in practice account were successful. I got a profit of Rs.256,000 within 2 days.(not real money) I invested only 2000usd of the total balance of 10000usd. I think this is not bad. Anyway, Thanks for your valuable advice.

Thanks Yasiru. Very very useful. Very Happy

I tried this few years ago on a practice account.In forex market ,they offer huge leverage.
So you can loss money in no time .(there may people who take extraordinary profit)

extremely dangerous game.

by samueldaniel7 on Thu Oct 20, 2011 9:42 am

anyone really got money out of forex (not practice accounts)
and how did you withdraw the money?
