IX Global doesn't touch your broker account, the only thing connected is the automation service so you can withdraw and deposit as and when you want.    What you earn in your trading account is yours and you deposit and withdraw from your broker account as you like.

However to benefit from the opportunity to increase your lot size and compound interest -it's best to keep all your equity in your broker account. If you do withdraw try to limit it to about 30% but really its up to you!   

This question happens a lot and it stems from those who are thinking about starting with a small investment of say US$1000 - US$2000 account.  

I started with a small account too and like this question i did wonder if the fees were justified.  With some research I concluded that yes the fees was justified and I would still start with a smaller account.

Here's my answer:-

a) I'm paying for access to knowledge, experience, their time and insight.
​If I had been trading on my own from January I believe that I wouldn't have made the returns I would have made. I would have cleaned out my intitial investment and walked away saying 'I can't trade'.     I would have wasted my investment.

Instead I looked at the membership fee as the price I pay for using the services of an automated trading service and the use of professional traders who do this on a daily basis. Their experience, insight and skills out ways me completely.   It would take me years and spending hours reading and learning charts to even get close to what they can do.  So for me, that US$180 pays for that experience I couldn't achieve in the short term.  Plus its not just one automated account you get, its two  so US$90 per account to generate an income on my savings is just brillant.

I started trading with at US$2K account and each month I have had consistent growth that would have only been achieveable if I had paid for their service to do that.  So for me I see it like paying for  an actiivty now that will benefit me in the long run and with time that cost of the fees will be outweighed.  

b) This is a long term solution not a short term 'get rich quick scheme'

How does US$180 equate over the longer term.  Lets good at some hypothetical numbers and time periods.

Let say you want to start your account with US$3000.  You have seen that the current return on growth has been around 5% per month.  Your membership costs US$180 per month.  

On month 1 this doesn’t add up.  That doesn’t work at all and makes no sense in the very short term.

• Initial balance:  US$3000
• Monthly growth rate: 5%  (this is based on our current monthly growth)
• Initial term: 1 months 
• Membership is US$180 per month 
• Investment balance increases from 3000 to 3150
• 1st month US$3150 – 180 = US$2970
• On a US$3000 account at 5% growth per month, that means you will earn US$150 which isn’t enough to cover the membership.

But let’s look at its longer term. 

Let’s look at it over the first 12 months and then 5 years.  We will also benefit from the powers of compound interest which is another useful tool in income generation.

Using the compound calculator and these numbers

First year term

• Initial balance:  US$3000
• Monthly growth rate: 5%
• Initial term: 12 months
• Membership is US$180 per month (US$2160 per year)
• Investment balance increases from 3000 to 5387  (use the compound interest calculator for this)
• Profit over the first year is US$3227

Now 5 year term

• Initial balance:  US$3000
• Monthly growth rate: 5%
• Initial term: 60 months
• Membership is US$180 per month (US$10,800 per year)
• Investment balance increases from 3000 to 56037  (use the compound interest calculator for this)
• Profit over the five years is US$45,237

So using these hypothetical numbers the long term effects of forex automation and compound interest are beneficial and thus makes your monthly investment in your own financial education and your our source of wealth generation more feasible.   Please note the % growth could be less or more over the time frame, but forex trading is a long-term investment and should be looked at over a longer time frame than a day to day activity. In this hypothetical situation I haven’t considered LOT sizes either which would increase your portfolio too.
tfolio too.

Jake Ducey is a recent entry to my 'people to listen too' list.  I discovered him about 6 months ago and have watched a lot of his videos of him sharing knowledge, insight and experiences.   For me he blends together a lot of some of my favourite inspirational people which I totally love.
​

The subject of money growth is on  my mind a lot these days as I find more ways to generate a passive income, become more financial literate and understand financial concepts that will better our future.  Its a bit of a journey and so any additional help to make better sense of this path is always useful.  
​

Jake did a review of the book 'Unshakeable' by Tony Robbins.  A book I haven't read so I was keen to listen to his review and his take on the key points he took away and how they can work for us.  Here is that video and its worth keeping thsi book tagged in your YouTube library and come back to it often as a reminder.  Let me know what your favourite take away is.

​This actually does happen now, every day. Monday through Friday I see more dollars drop into my forex account.

About a month ago I shared on Facebook that I had started learning about forex trading, learning new terminology, setting trades, using an automated trading tool.

5 months in and I have to say this really is a positive experience. While I've been learning about trading, I used an automated trading service to grow my account and it has been running nicely! On average I've seen around 5%. July we were just under at 4.26% but overall I've been pleased with these results.

Alongside this income growth, I've also benefited from compound interest too! So this has actually been a worthy strategy for us. Making our money work for us is actually something I can understand now and has been a big mindset shift for me too! My bank says 0.01% which I'm supposed to be excited about!! NOT!!!

Wherever you are on your income journey, do take a moment to take a look at options like this and see if it's for you? If you are interested let me know.
