Start Forex with $500?

October 20th, 2008

A T asked:


I am very new to investment. But since I have strong interest in the financial market, I decided to use $500 (the amount I can let go if I fail) and lean from actual trading…

… OK, I really want to make some money.

I thought I would do stocks, but since I have to pay $10-13 commission through online brokers, $500 initial deposit will go away pretty soon. And I want to start making money fast. So, I am now thinking about foreign exchange.

There are terms that I do not know. Would you please explain what Spreads and Pips are?

If I use online trading like FXCM for USDJPY, how much are they going to charge?

Which currency has the most return (most risk)?

I want to know your experiences.

I know I sound stupid because I do not know anything. I am sure many of you will say to put the money in CD or mutual fund. But I am looking for a way to make money instantly.

Thanks for your help!

    If you want to make money instantly, you are pretty much guaranteeing that you will lose money instantly.

    If you’re dead set on gambling instead of investing, it might be simpler just to blow all your money on lottey tickets.

    Good luck!

    Stay away from excessive leverage.
    Do some paper trades before using real money -even if its just $500-.

    Otherwise you have a 99% chance of losing money.

    Zecco is FREE.

    FOREX is not for small investors with just $500.00 USD.
