Forex futures and options are available, and with relatively less volatility than equity, but I'm not profitable yet so saying successfully would be wrong
However i have trade USDINR a couple times and booked roughly 10-15% returns average on futures
Been there, I dont really use stoplosses, confirmation of breakouts are generally too quick moves, so I enter and watch until target is reached, any small divergence against the move (right after entry or reversal of trend) and I immediately exit
16000 in itself is actually just about right for a 1 lot trade in either of our Indian indices. I have lost money in 1 lot trades as well, so I look for capital from other income until I really become profitable.
7500 is good enough, I would say to save it, add another 8k to take...
