First, it’s very important to understand that all speculative trading is risky, if it is in stocks, currencies, commodities or anything more. It’s correct that their results are probably going to be better than yours in the medium to long-term, even if there are occasions when things do not go so well.
Next, be aware that for a standard foreign exchange managed account the minimum investment can be high. This is because a trader is normally trading your account for you on a commission basis. Obviously, the additional cash you have in the account, the larger the predicted returns and the more commission he will expect to make. You can see that it would not be worth his time to deal with an account balance of two thousand greenbacks. In the case of a standard managed forex account, your money is held in a new account that you can view and have access to. Here your money goes into a pool with other clients’ funds, to be traded all together. In this situation it doesn’t matter how much your individual funds are and the company will generally accept little investments.
There’s more of a risk with pooled accounts in that you cannot see what has happened. It is critical to check on the background of the company and especially, whether they are members of any regulatory bodies that will protect you in the event of a failure or crash. There’s a real risk of swindles with unregulated managed forex trading, so do your due research.
