Hi there FXman,

Welcome to M/Tec forums. The info you seek is readily available on the web pages of each broker. I think they will all give details of what they are offering including demo accounts. There is a link at the top of each M/Tec page, look for the orange band at the top.

A mini account minimum transaction size is 10,000 units (USD, EUR of GBP or what ever).

In order to put yourself in a position to be able to have a high probability to make it in FX trading and make money from it you probably need around $3000 plus a lot of luck to make a success of a mini account in the long run.

X 10 for a standard account.

The value of a pip =

DrForex, that calculator does not work properly for some currency pairs.


fxman05, you may try this Forex Calculator
Please note that it produces US dollar value of a pip, not pound price.

Mishak

Thanks. i don;t use it, but know about it. thanks.

I could have said buy my book ... you know that one about the birds, then you can figure it our for yourself, but now I am an upstanding law abiding, Moderator fearing, Moneytec citizen and therefore i don't say buy my Book Bird Watching in Lion Country - Retail Forex Trading Explained in order to get my book Introduction to the FX Market for free where you can learn to do al them calculations by yourself. Or did i just say it?
You decide.

See. Where's my signature? Its on the preview but not where it counts!

(Oh or you can buy Introduction and get BWILC for free same bargain)

Still no signature. And it is such a nice signature.
