Read on to discover how you can achieve your Forex trading plan goals.
Deposit Initial Investment Into Broker
To start trading in the currency markets, one must have some initial funds to stake. Find $50 and deposit it into a broker account. This is the first necessary step toward trading currency markets. It’s important to lay some groundwork and have some capital to begin with. This initial deposit is a crucial step in the process of beginning to trade in the currency markets.
By taking paid surveys online, every day for a month, making about a whopping one dollar a day for what often took several hours of work a day. It’s not a good way to make money, but if you have absolutely nothing, it IS a way to make money. So, I’ve raised a starting stake of about $50. We would never recommend that anyone start forex trading with anything less than at least $50 to start. The ideal starting balance is $500 but $50 is the minimum that we would recommend.
Okay, we’re going to make a million dollars (or more).
We’re going to do it in 15 months (or less).
And we’re going to start with virtually nothing ($50).
Trading Strategy for your Forex Trading Plan
How are we going to accomplish this? We’re going to be focused on entries and risk to achieve our goal, we’re going to need to multiply our trading capital quickly and consistently. Specifically, the plan is to utilize a trading strategy that is simple, yet profitable. Trading will focus primarily on a 15-minute chart.
Utilizing a Profitable Trading Strategy
Check out this article on Forex trading for beginners as well! One great thing to remember is to use support and resistance levels. This will help you stay out of bad trades and increase your winning percentage which is always important when growing an account, especially if you are following our million-dollar trading plan.
Start out with a basic strategy with a high win rate. You can start researching strategies by reading the best strategy to make a living. You’ll also want to look at multiple time-frame analyses. to get the most accurate entries and exits.
Use of Support and Resistance Levels
The key to doing this will be discipline, discipline, and more discipline. Trying to make a million dollars in 15 months necessarily means taking some risks. However, I will stick with the basic trading strategy I have in mind. Actually, I have two strategies in mind, but the second one is designed for trading the 4-hour time frame, and we’ll need to increase our trading stake a bit before we can move up to trading that time frame.
Discipline is Key
So, do I really believe this is possible? Well, sure, it’s possible. My personal guess is that we’ll come up a bit short, but so what if we only make $500,000, or even just $100,000? – That’s still a pretty nice paycheck for 15 months of work, right? But for the moment, let’s just stick with our goal of at least millionaire status.
Is a Million Dollar Profit Possible?
I sincerely hope with all my heart that we do succeed. I hope for success not just for my sake (I could use a quick million – to pay a few bills), but for your sake, too, for all of you reading this and coming along on this journey with me. I want us all to succeed – to find a pathway that leads to financial salvation in this economy that’s crumbling beneath our feet, where jobs and job security are more and more difficult to come by. I believe that forex trading offers financial salvation. It is, in my not-so-humble opinion, the last road to riches for the “regular guy” (or girl).
Forex Trading as a Path to Financial Salvation

Million Dollar Trading Plan Money Management Strategy:
If you want to take a trading account from zero to one million, you need to have a money management strategy to get you there. Here is one that will serve you well.
Money Management Strategy to Reach $1 Million
Starting with a $50 account and just one “micro,” our goal is to make 1 million dollars in 15 months. Yes, 500 pips a month is fast growth, but we are going for a million dollars trading very quickly; this isn’t going to be easy.
Making 500 Pips per Month: Goal for Fast Growth
Let me break it down to make it not seem as intimidating. For this example, we are going to work at making 500 pips per month. That is 125 pips per week, which is just 25 pips per day.
Breaking Down the Goal into Manageable Steps
Let’s keep breaking down how we can do this. 25 pips a day could be done with 2 trades at 12.5 each or just one trade at 25.
Strategies to Achieve 25 Pips Per Day
If we do one trade a day at 25 each, that makes it a little bit easier. However, let’s not forget losing trades. If you have a 25-pip stop loss and win one trade and lose one trade, you are at 0 pips.
Dealing with Losing Trades
If you lose your first trade, you need to win your next two to end up with 25 pips in net profit. Not always an easy task. Just remember though sometimes you can win the entire 125 pips in just one week. There are many ways to do this; just try to stay on task and focus on 125 pips a week with 2 per day being a good guide.
Staying on Track to Achieve 125 Pips Per Week
In the following image, I break down a great way to increase your account without using excessive risk. Using this continuous pattern, ALWAYS target just 500 pips each month.
A Great Way to Increase Your Account Without Using Excessive Risk
With this Forex trading plan, you can turn your $50 account into $1 million in just 15 months. It won’t be easy, but with a solid money management strategy and focus on making 125 pips per week, you can achieve your goals. Remember, stay on task, and don’t lose sight of your end goal.

Some weeks, with our Forex Trading Plan, we may make much more, others less but on AVERAGE 500 pips a month and increasing the size we should eventually get UP.
Now, I will assume that there has been some “Plateau” effect. And that you had a few weeks scattered here and there where you did NOT make it UP to the next level.
Maybe have a month where we make less than 500 pips. We just adjust and move on. Keep on seeking the target of going from zero to 1 million.
Let’s carry it even further and say that you’re just getting uncomfortable going above the 2 lots.
Let us say that it took you 26 weeks to slowly move up a mini lot at a time and now you are trading 2 full lots and that is enough for you. Let’s say you decide to NEVER go above this level and you’re simply going to trade 2 lots forever.
Weeks 26 through 50.…. We add in 24 more weeks and we CAP your earnings at $8k a week for the rest of the year.
24 weeks x $8,000 = $192K MORE. We add this to the $94,200 and come up with a total of $286,200.Can you do this?
Can you believe this?
Is it really hard to make 125 pips a week? And 50 on a slow week?
What’s amazing is you can target 125 pips doing just one trade a week. That would be the way to do this. The following image below is a trade of 125 pips using just one trade.
One trade per week of 125 pips would do the trick.
If this is something you cannot believe in. CHOOSE a number you can believe in. CHOOSE a way to “Move up the ladder” according to YOUR rules.
Slow. Sure. Steady. Keep it going. Make a plan and stick to your trading plan.
Make sure you keep track of this each week using a trading journal.
Conclusion — Forex Trading Plan

By following the steps outlined in this article, traders can build a strong foundation for their trading career and work their way toward their financial goals.

Jack,
Greetings first of all… Well I read through your article and I see some very serious conditional attitude that “What if” you able to pull this off… I mean… What’s the harm in it… Because going from 100k to 1million may sound very interesting but the risk appetite is substantial… I thoroughly believe if you can make ur account grow from 100k to 1 million or more then why not from the smaller account ?
Initially may be it will take more time to from from 50usd to may be 1,000 or 10,000usd but I will call this victory even if someone can get to 10k. What mostly we do not realise is the patience invlove to grow from very small to medium… By the time u r near 10k or plus ur strategy and trading experience will be so much that it will become absolutely possible once u cross 10k barrier…
I’m all in to trade live with you… Seriously sometimes we spend 50usd just for nothing so why not try something that’s has something extraordinary to offer… I’ll consider it a lottery ticket… So jack I’m all up for it… Just do it.
You raise an interesting point, Ayaz. Someone above mentioned “patience”, and that will indeed be important, especially In the beginning when it may seem like it takes forever just to get from $50 to, say, $500. But if we can work this properly, it will be surprising how quickly we can then move from $500 to $5,000, and then even faster from $5,000 to $50,000. The growth rate (assuming the trading plan works) will be exponential, that is, growing faster and faster as we progress.
Sounds like it will be quite the ride! Count me in!
Thanks Sonny
I agree that the idea is crazy. In fact, so crazy that it might just work. I love crazy and that’s why I’m in on this with you all the way.
Hi. I think that is more than possible to trade an acc from 50$ to 1million.but there are two problems 1. You will need a steady growth of more than 3% on a daily basis. 2. When you will have an account bigger than 750k depending on your risk tolerance you need to accept loses of 7k 15k or even 20k on some days, and than you will need to make profits bigger than 20-25k daily. These will be the problem, how to realoses of 7k 15k or even 20k on some days, and than you will need to make profits bigger than 20-25k daily. These will be the problem, how to react on such big price oscillations ! Anyway i wish u luck on your new mission and i will be with u and follow through 🙂
“I think that is more than possible to trade an acc from 50$ to 1million.but there are two problems”
Oh, well thank God there are only TWO problems. I feel much more confident now.
Seriously, you’re quite right, there will be those problems when the account hopefully does reach the higher dollar levels…but I’ll be happy if we GET TO the problems at that level. But that’s definitely a topic to address at some point – It is indeed a different ball game risking $20,000 rather than $5.
I hope we will have the pleasure to dicuss these topics infuture. About four years ago it was a german guy who was trying to make 1million € from 1000€ in the end he acived 7000% return which was even great
Oh, come on, starting with 1000 is practically like cheating. 🙂
Indeed, I look forward to discussing things with you further in the future.
I think its a great idea, I will not only follow I intend to beat you to 1 million
I like your attitude, and totally support you – If you do get there first, you’re going to give me 5% for giving you the idea though, right? 🙂
And if you get to a million early, your going to give me 5% for pushing you along
(nodding) That sounds fair.
I would love to follow along.
why not invite winners edge members to receive trading signals & make a few millionaires – that would be the perfect forex story.
Mag – Look, I’m willing to do all I can to help any fellow traders, but it may take us a little time to work out the best way to keep people updated. I’m a writer – I’m not a computer whiz. I just got an email saying I have a new follower on “Disqus”…I don’t even know what Disqus is.
Any event, give me a few days to get things set up and rolling – there will definitely be follow up columns from me on this.
Sir:
I am hungry for aboslute freedom that a cool million would bring, Lord willing of course. So, how soon can I take part in this here venture.
Rod
Lord willing – Amen.
Yes, I am very interested in seeing and doing. I know there are many people that make a living trading. They also have a the funds to do it. To start and fund a trading account with 50-100 dollars is in my league. Look forward to hearing more and going on the journey.
I would be definitely interested, but need to know the proposed specifics; What session would we trade(follow you on). Will this cost us ANY money other than a small amount to begin with to trade? When woudl you be teaching your “strategy” or would we learn while you trade?Basically what are all of the specifics on this? Very interested!!
Stay tuned here for specifics – as I said in the article, I wanted to see if there was real interest in this before proceeding.
And apparently there is!
Free – I’m on US east coast time, but I often get up for the London morning session, just to see what’s going on if nothing else. In any event, I am usually worn out for the day by NY lunchtime – the bulk of my trading occurs between 6 or 7 AM to 11 AM, EST (or EDT, which we’ll be on next week).
