Do not invest more money than you can afford to lose.
Russia-oriented forex brokerage Forex Club reported on Thursday the share of clients who closed February 2017 at a profit or loss no higher than $100 was 70%. A month earlier, such client accounts made up 73% of all.
Full 30% of the total number of client accounts with the broker generated a profit last month, regardless of the account balance. Accounts with deposits of more than $10,000 had a success rate of 64% in February.
The highest reported profit last month was $462,000 and was generated from active trading in Japanese yen (JPY) and Brent crude oil (BRN). Meanwhile, the highest loss in February amounted to $490,000. It was the result of aggressive cross-pound shopping and sales of gold (XAU/USD).
