important of Trading Strategy

Many traders will hold on to losses hoping it will reverse eventually, only to see the loss get progressively larger. The trading decisions are based on emotional reactions to fluctuating profits and losses, a common pitfall for new traders.

Because the pip value on the Mini Account is just $1 per pip, traders can focus on developing a disciplined trading strategy, basing decisions on pip movement and market conditions NOT P/L.

For Example: When trading a MONEYFOREX Mini account, a 50-pip floating loss is approximately $50. That same 50-pip move against you on the Standard Account now becomes a $500 floating loss. By starting with a Mini account- a trader loses only a small amount on every losing transaction making it easier to stick to a disciplined trading strategy. Generating larger losses on the Standard Account can be detrimental to new traders as the temptation to hold on to the loss is much greater based on the size of the loss
