There is no rule about the number of shares an investor must buy. If you can afford a single share (plus commissions), a broker will get it for you. As a matter of fact, through the Monthly Investment Plan you can buy a fraction of a share, although the Plan requires a minimum investment every month.
To invest in the Forex, you will probably need a float of around $400 and invest from $1 to $10 per pip to start with, then reinvest your profits.
So there is a much smaller outlay required to invest in Forex, although it is more speculative.

From the research i've done around the internet its recommended to start with $100-200 USD, though a newbie should not expect it to return to their pockets.

But deposit aside in my opinion the deposit is not that important, the time invested is of much greater significance

EURUSD traded today I opened my position by selling when the price was 1.37892 and all indicators showed a downward trend, I checked the exponential moving average, stochastic oscillator and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI 50) When the price reached the take profit order was closed and I made 217 00 pips in  trading Forex online. but other strategies or techniques that can advise me to learn a little more?

Traded with USD/JPY & EUR/USD today (GBP/USD was a little slow), i found both these currencies are range bound atm, i did a little range-trading and got a sneaky lil profit, it also allows a margin of error if you traded the wrong way at first because its ranged trading you can predict the direction and how far in that direction.. i used icihimoku cloud and MACD + some home-made trend-lines :) 

Hope this helped!


(PS. i dont think $100 is the strict ideal amount, it is between 100-200 in my opinion... higher deposit gives you more numbers to play with)

I can say that $100-$200 is a good amount to start with.Thou ofcourse for newbies we cant be sure enough to gain profit immediately so newbies would rather not expect a return for investment for a start but to experience what so called actual trading.

  Maybe you could just consider that deposit as your learning fee in live forex trading.[grin] or start live fx trading with a money you can afford to lose
