Traders focus on catching pips. The more pips you catch in trade means more money you can make. Leveraging funds in your money for a higher lot size can result in more money but higher chances of blowing your forex account. It is wiser to have a forex mentor than to trade on your own but if you must do so then you can always try a few demo trades. Watch some youtube videos before going live in the market. Trading is fun if you take your time and learn the process.
Remember only trade forex if you understand the risk it carries and do avoid overleveraging to blow your account. Place small trades and take profits early.
