Hello everyone,

First time here. What a great place. . .nobody speaking about MMs, pumpers and bashers. . .finally. The stock world is hell compared to this.

Like I opened a demo account with a broker (no names because I am under 50 articles ), I have been doing pretty good following SIDUS method. My first 50,000 is now a bit over 55,000. I invested exaclty $4000 on every trade, because this is the sum that I sense more realistic to my position right now.

Each commerce gave me approximately a little bit greater than $1000 in profit (call me blessed, however together with Sidus I had 4 good trades out of 4).

Now my query is this: where's the ch? Don't get me wrong, I know the risks and I've loads of experience with the stock market, so charts are not anything new to me...I know they work until, well, they don't.

However, what about those profits? Are they realistic, or is the demo account playing with me? $1000 over $4000 in 1-2 days isn't bad in any way.

Is my demo broker giving me poor leverage?

With the USD/JPY, when I put in $4000, 8 PIPS are equivalent to $69.01. I assume by dividing this by the number of PIPS I get that every PIP is $8.6

Call me ingorant, but is the typical leverage?

And additionally, if I open a live account with $4000, and throw 4000 into one trade, do I buy this same leverage, or this leverage is similar to this only because I've a $50,000.00 balance inside this demo account?

I love your help and do not worry, I am not likely to go live until 99.9% confident of what the hell I am doing. All I want to know right now is how realistic my presentation gains are considering that I will be opening my own accout using $4000.

Due
