My computer crashed which required that I set up my Fx Pro with metatrader again. I opened a $3,000 demo account with 1:1 leverage to start, as this most closely simulates what I will do once I start live trading. I've not been able to place a trade, however because it says "NOT Enough Money" when I click buy or sell. I'm only using .10 volume. And I'm not using unreasonable stop losses. My stop losses have been between 100-150 pips, and targets have been set using the Target calculator.
My trade terminal says I have $3,000 with $3,000 free margin, and $3,000 equity.
The account history says Profit/Loss 0.00 Deposit 0.00 withdrawl 0.00.
Does anybody have any suggestions--I'm probably missing something really simple (again). I can't state how much I appreciate the help I've recieved on this forum to this point. Thanks...
Hi James,
If you buy or sell dollars - 1 lot = 100,000$ and 0,1 lot = 10,000$, so you can't buy/sell 10,000$ if you have 3,000$ and no leverage.
