Normally it’s 1-5 pips in between two prices. Nevertheless, a spread can vary depending on the market’s condition or movement. Simply select a broker that offers you low fixed and variable spreads for minting more money and cover the fee. If your next question would be about the brokers, I trade...
I traded 10K on USD/MXN with the pip value $0.08$ per pip. The average volatility on a mini lot turned out to be approx $85.60. Never thought trading exotic would be so cool and much lesser than what I traded with majors.
There’s also a 1% risk rule for day trading which directly focuses on risk management. This basically allows anyone to prevent losses of about 1% on a single trade.
Any particular indicator that’s seized your interest except RSI? I’ve used this indicator for ages now and switched to MACD now with roboforex and fxview. It’s good too.
@cortney302 In case you’re new and don’t have a track record, you can base your daily stop on the losing trades in a row, or it can be a percentage loss. You can use either of these two or both.
I’ve been making more money trading with ECN brokers like fxview and roboforex simply because there’s no middleman involved. I buy and sell the currency pairs without any delay.
Because the traders and liquidity providers are connected directly, the ECN brokers will never interfere. Best part is that the brokers will not be able to trade against the clients.
As far as I know Neal, STP brokers can trade against their own clients. But ECN brokers like roboforex and fxview are comparatively better by being in sync with their clients, not trading against them and making the process extremely transparent.
