When I deposited in my broker account, I was nervous about if they were going to make the deposit or if they just ran away; but I settle down when I watched in my platform the capital ready to trade. This account has 200:1 leverage so if I open a 5000 position, it represent 25usd of capital.
At that time, the next few days big news were released, Bernanke was cutting rates and US dollar was by the floor at 1.558 (EURUSD)
In retrospective, I think that my initial strategy to trade the markets was just fundamental analysis, hoping a change in a currency when a big new was released. So I went long 5000 in gbpusd at 1.9692 and wait. What a surprise the next day, two hundred pips up and make a profit. 102usd up in my account in just one night!
The experiment began!!!
