PART 2: Money Matters
The second part of this tutorial deals with the financial aspects of Forex trading. It will show you how to:
* Monitor your account.
* Put money into your trading account.
* Withdraw money from your trading account
The trading account
When you register with any broker, an account called a trading account is also opened for you. This account is where all matters regarding funds and finances are monitored. The Marketiva Account Center is another place where you can monitor your account but this time in a web based environment. When you log in and click on Account Center on the navigation bar near the top of the page, you see this screen below. Take note of the area circled in red. It contains the main links for the accounts center. We shall look at one or two of those links shortly. (Note: The different types of sub accounts are called desks here)
To deposit funds, click on the Deposit Funds link. When the page below comes up, we are presented with three options. In this tutorial, we shall talk about E-Gold which is the simplest, cheapest and most reliable way which I have found of funding my trading account. E-Gold is highly recommended for International traders.
