The Forex Mini account was designed for those who are new to the FX market. The Mini account trades in smaller contract sizes of 10,000 units, 1/10th the size of the standard account. In addition, the Mini account allows traders to become familiar with Forex, specifically the quality and reliability of Forex dealing practices and the stability of the FX Trading Station.

Develop a Disciplined Trading Strategy


We believe that if you asked any successful trader he will tell you that the key to trading success is discipline. Everyone has heard the expression “cut your losses and let your profits run” yet how many traders actually practice this?

Many traders will hold on to losses hoping this trend will reverse eventually, only to see the loss get progressively larger. These “irrational” trading decisions are based on emotional reactions to fluctuating profits and losses, a common pitfall for new traders.

Losses can AND WILL occur. A trader's ability to limit his losses is just as important as (or even more important than) determining entry points.

We feel that since the pip value on the Mini Account is about $1 per pip, traders can focus on pip movement and market conditions NOT P/L.

Start Small—Build Up Confidence


There is NO MAXIMUM trade volume on the Forex Mini account that the FDM we introduce for offers. Although the standard trade size is 10,000 units – you are not limited to trading one lot! For instance, you can trade 10,000 units, 50,000 units or 150,000 units. This means as you become more seasoned and build up confidence you can slowly increase the size of your positions to maximize your potential. In fact the trade size of 10,000 units allows for more flexibility in terms of customizing the size of your trade. The ability to customize the size of the trade enables better risk management.

Ideal for Accounts under $10,000


We recommend that all traders with account balances less than $10,000 trade a Mini account. This gives you more staying power in the market, and the ability to take advantage of multiple opportunities without over-leveraging your account. If you over-leverage your account you will not give yourself room for error. Even if you are correct on the direction of the market, minor fluctuations can generate a margin call and liquidate a good position.

Take a Mini Challenge!


Due to the over-the-counter nature of the FX market, execution varies depending upon the firm you trade with. The FDM that we introduce for provides execution and service reputed to be among the highest quality in the FX industry. When you trade online with them you receive:

  • An intuitive and user-friendly trading software
  • Rapid execution from live, streaming prices
But don't just take our word for it. For just $300 you can open and fund a live Forex Mini account and see for yourself.

New accounts can be up and running in as little as one business day (subject to method of funding). Convenient Funding options are:

  • Online Check
  • Credit & Debit Card ($10,000 max per month)
  • Bank Wire (USD only)
  • Paper Check

*Leverage is a double-edged sword. Without proper risk management, this high degree of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.
**These features are available via the No Dealing Desk Execution platform offered by the FDM that we introduce for.
