Hi there,
I'm quite new to Forex trading. I have a question about capital.

My trading skills are not the best but I have proven that I can make capital.

Still I've lost money, but it's all about sticking to a plan I noticed. The reason why I start loosing is not really making bad deals, but the risk I start taking for some deals. Basically, when I stick to the plan of 0 01 and max 0.02 lot per trade I make a steady profit of about 2 dollar on 150 dollar account a day. Which for me as a beginner is quite well. So why don't I stick to my plan, because sitting 4 to 6 hours finding trades I can do is quite exhausting for just two dollars.

Of course I realise compared to experience traders I have an awful lot to learn. The most important thing I learned stay out of trading in situations I don't understand.

Because the problem is more share boredom working 5 hours for 2 dollars which leads to unhealthy adit ute of risk taking per trade what would you as experienced trader say if I slowly start capitalizing my trading account, which is quite easy for the money I saved by quiting smoking? For a beginner is an account of 1000 dollar a good idea?

Instead of trading with 0.01 lot I could trade 0.1 lot with about the same amount of risk is my reasoning. And in the end of the day it's much more rewarding
