Learn Forex TradingBy Ricky Lim Do you want to learn Forex Trading? Maybe you have heard from your friends and family that so and so has made millions of dollars each year trading forex and you want a piece of the action and the money too. Well, let me first say that making money trading forex is possible but there is a learning curve involved and most people probably will end up losing money at first. I like to call it a lesson learned by paying your fees, in this case your money. Don’t get me wrong but from my experience, I learned by making a lot of mistakes and losing money. From there, I realized the mistakes I’ve made and gradually start to make a profit after years of practice. Here are a few tips that can help shorten this learning curve if you want to learn forex trading. 1. Forex Trading Education I firmly believe a forex trading education is necessary. Forex trading is inherently a technical game and you need to have a basic grasp of financial and forex terms before you start trading forex. Examples are terms such as pivot point, ask and bid price, bid/ask spread, limit and stop order etc. There are plenty of free forex trading courses and tutorials online so you do not really need to pay any money when you start learning forex trading. Once you have a bit of experience and trade in the forex market for a while, then you can buy intermediate to advanced forex trading courses such as the forexmentor course. 2. Mini Forex Account or Forex Simulator I highly recommend you try a forex simulator if you are trading for the first time to get a hang of it. You can search on the internet for free forex simulator. Once you get the hang of it, I recommend you open a mini forex account. With a mini forex account, you can start trading for real money with as little as 100 US dollars. An reason is if you do not have enough money to open a regular forex account since there usually is a minimum of at least US $5000. A mini forex account works exactly the same as a regular forex account and it is a good way to start learning and making mistakes since your losses are minimum If you want to learn forex trading, the 2 tips above can help shorten your learning curve and your losses.
