If you plan on opening a forex account, be sure you accept the risks associated with forex trading and have plenty of capital to cover potential losses. Many brokers offer "mini" or "micro" trading accounts and allow an individual to trade with capital of only $300. However, be forewarned that these are allowable because of the accounts are leveraged by about 200 to 1. This means that a trader could make very real positive gains, but the risk of loss is just as significant. If an individual is not prepared for that kind of loss, then the individual should not take that kind of risk.
