How to trade on Forex4you from India — step by step
The full route from registration to a first managed position: account opening, verification, funding, platform choice and placing an order with a stop-loss.
Start Trading →Trading on Forex4you from India takes five steps: register and pass KYC, fund the account (Cent from $1, $100+ practical for Classic or Pro STP), choose MetaTrader 4, WebTrader or the mobile app, pick an instrument from the 150+ list, and place the order with a stop-loss attached. Micro lots from 0.01 keep early position sizes small, and risking 1–2% of the balance per trade is the standard protection.
From registration to the first trade
- Register a trading account and complete identity verification (KYC) with a passport or another accepted ID plus a proof of address dated within the last few months.
- Fund the account — a Cent account works from $1, while $100+ gives Classic or Pro STP accounts a realistic margin buffer; cards and bank transfers are the common routes from India.
- Choose a platform: the MetaTrader 4 terminal for Windows, the WebTrader that runs in any browser without a download, or the Forex4you mobile app.
- Pick an instrument from the 150+ list — for example EUR/USD, USD/JPY or gold (XAU/USD) — and check its contract specification and trading hours first.
- Open the order ticket, set the position size in lots (micro lots from 0.01 are supported), and attach a stop-loss and take-profit before confirming.
- Track open positions in the terminal; margin level, floating result and overnight swap charges update in real time.
- Risk only a small share of the balance per trade — many traders cap it at 1–2% — because leveraged CFD losses accumulate quickly.

Frequently asked questions
What documents does verification need?
A government-issued ID such as a passport, plus a proof of address like a recent utility bill or bank statement. Clear scans speed the check up; trading limits stay restricted until verification completes.
Can I practise before trading real money?
Yes — a free demo account mirrors the chosen account type with virtual funds on the same platforms. Running an approach on demo first is the standard way to test order handling before risking a deposit.
How much should a beginner risk per trade?
A common rule is 1–2% of the account balance per position, enforced with a stop-loss on every trade. With leverage up to 1:1000 available, oversized positions are the fastest way to lose a deposit.
