I would suggest trading 0.01 lots and being prepared to hold for several days so that you can follow the main trend for 100 pips plus with high r:r ratios. Once your trade is in profit secure it with a stop and look for the next trade. Don't open new trades while you are showing a loss. Be prepared to wait for the trend to turn in your direction, it won't always happen straight away

I know that most of you are coming into the Forex markets with relatively small trading accounts. I also know that you want to grow your trading accounts while losing as little money as possible. Focus on trading the markets, not on making the money It is not a profound statement to say that making money in the markets is a result of successfully trading them, but it’s worth examining this statement further to see just where most traders with small accounts go wrong.
