In Forex If i invest $500 would i lose more than $500 or just $500?

I would strongly advise you to check with the individual broker as to any downside protection they would guarantee on your investment. There are situations in fast moving markets where a broker is "unable" to close your position in time and you could in fact lose more than your original investment.

This is definetely a situation where you want to read the fine print with your actual brokerage rather than rely on well meaning but occassionally inaccurate advice.

Always err on the side of caution.

That depends on how you invest it.

If you actually buy $500 worth of another currency, then change it back, you can't lose more than you started with.

However, if you're using a margined (aka leveraged or geared) forex trading account, which is normally how it's done, you could lose more. That's because your $500 you invest might be just a notional margin on a trade of a larger amount, e.g. $50,000. Then your losses could well be more than your initial $500.

you can lose more than $500 unless your broker has a negative balanced protection set on you. Or if you're trading through intermeediairs and not a specific borker, you must issue a stop-loss or you can lose everything and more.

Hi,

Of course you cannot lose more than your trading amount. If you deposited $500 you could lose only $500.

Usually most brokers close all your open position when your available margin level reaches -20%

Just wondering what you are going to do with $500 in forex? Such small trading balance is condemned to lose. You should start with $5-$10k and trade mini lots. In worse case start with $2K.

Good luck!

You can never lose more than what you put into your account. But all the money that you do put in is at risk. That is why it is very important that you know what you are doing. I highly suggest that you check out http://www.wiseforexinvestor.com and see how the FreedomRocks strategy works extremely well. I can send you a spreadsheet which documents the performance of the FreedomRocks strategy over the past 500 days. I know you will be just as amazed as I was when I saw it. Whatever you do, make sure you do your homework so that you do not lose your shirt.

First let me get this off my chest: If all you have to invest into anything is $500, what do you expect your return to be? You could lose $500 in the first 5 minutes especially if you do not know what you are doing. Furthermore, you should be saving your money until it grows to at least $1500 of disposable money before even looking at investing into anything that is even low risk. Look at it this way, If you went to Las Vegas to gamble for a week, how long would that money last and would you miss it when it is gone? Would you look back at your Vegas trip and say, "Man that was dumb, I could really use that money right now."? Whether the answer is yes or no let me offer you a solution right now:

I invest in the forex using a hedging strategy which I have found to be very successful. When I got started I could only afford to forget about $500 a month. Now, most laughed at me for that, but if you could see my accounts now you would not be laughing. I would be happy to share with you what I did and continue to do with my accounts that has gotten me to this point, if you are able to afford $500 a month. If I continue down the path I am on I will turn my $500 per month into close to $300k within 5 years.
Feel free to contact me and I will send you my plan in detail and you can choose whether or not to follow it as well.
