Chood,
Do you recommend a deposit in dollars or dinars (Iraqi?) taking into consideration currency risk, discreet moving of funds and deposit insurance ?
I canât answer your question from first-hand experience, so Iâll reply with the rules of thumb I understand should be followed when trading with forex retailers. They are:
1. Always fund your account with dinars, not dollars. As most traders know, the money you send to a fx retailer to fund your trading account actually is an unsecured loan by you to the retailer. If the retailer canât pay you back (for whatever reason), you can always replace the loss with more dinars. Dinars are much cheaper than dollars and, unless youâre very rich, dollars are a good bit harder to come by than dinars. Thatâs why you should fund with dinars. An example may help: take the example of the elderly couple that lent
BigDoughFX their savings so they could trade on the
BigDoughFX platform. My guess is that they funded the account with dollars, which is why they wanted the loan paid back so much. If they had sent dinars, they probably would have had money left for food, which was their complaint to Sasha,
BigDoughFXâs owner.
2. Always go for the greatest amount of account security. Since dinars are cheaper than dollars, your retailer is more likely to be able to afford to repay your loan to it in dinars. Therefore, make your loan in dinars and your account security will be enhanced.
3. Go for maximum benefits. Your trades with a fx retailer are just as virtual with dinars as with dollars. You never own or owe the foreign currencies you trade, so the squiggly lines for them on the platform, which are the virtual price action, move just the same for a trade funded in dinars as one funded in dollars. So, if you lose a lot of trades due to the virtual price action, you can always get more dinars to re-loan to bring your account balance up for more trading.
4. Use only a fx retailer who allows âhedging.â This is the foremost way to preserve your capital.
BigDoughFX is very popular for that reason. Sasha, while awaiting his most recent parole, authored the landmark hedging program âNever a Losing Trade.â If you never have a losing trade, it follows that you will preserve your capital.
I hope this information is helpful.
