Starting with a micro account does not mean that you can skip the demo stage. It is very important to begin to know both your system and your broker’s platform in demo mode before going live. This cuts down on the probability of making technical mistakes or mistakes in the fulfilment of your system in your real cash account, provided of course that the platform remains the same in demo as for the real market. To get the most from a micro foreign exchange account it’s very important to have a system that does not involve big risks. Usually you will be using high leverage on the account or trading more than one lot, so you maximise the amount you can make from winning trades. This means that any loss is likely to have a big impact.
Therefore you need a system that only makes tiny losses. Instead, look for a system with more stable results. Naturally, no currency exchange system is totally foreseeable, but statistically a tiny account balance will have an improved chance of surviving that way.
When you are making steady profits with a micro account you can continuously add more funds to your balance and increase the quantity of lots that you commit in each trade, until at last you are prepared to head to a mini currency exchange lot size which is ten times larger. Used in this way, a micro currency exchange account could be the best way to get started with beginner foreign exchange trading.
