guys am new to this..

is the earnings and loss based on the amount you use to leverage or the total contract size you are buying ?

e.g. if you use $200 in your account to buy up to a $2000 contract

and the $2000 contract now becomes $4000 worth in value

so do you earn $2000 or only earn another $200

You are using $200 as margin to leverage up to buy $2k. If value goes up to $4k, you make $2k.

But if goes down, you probably get a margin call and wiped out first.

My advice is better to stay away from forex. You can make a KFC chicken profit but you will lose a Ferrari easily if you don't have a proper risk management.

*Currencies cannot go to zero but your account can get wiped out easily*

USD/SGD

Mr Canberra, what is your view about SGD, how high is it likely to go against USD?

Short term range bound 1.33-1.35.

2018 then can see 1.4X again unless have interest rate hike in Dec.
