Learn Forex
Trading - Even the Experts start
somewhere!
Forex
Trading can be a mystery even for experts. One
thing is clear, if you want to have a chance to
trade profitably you have to learn the
basics.
Remember to start off small,
then grow as your success grows! Keep in the
back of your mind that almost anybody has to
lose sometime. The winners in Forex Trading are
those who win most of the time, whether that be
'the big one' infrequently or lots of
consistent small wins.
There are people flying around
in expensive jets without the money for their
next refuel, and there are those looking to buy
their next executive plaything. Then of course
there's the teenager down the street working on
his first million and grandma who mysteriously
just bought a new car. So watch your head, mind
your wallet and be keep in your thoughts that
this Forex trading stuff is not a game to be
taken lightly unless you know how to play!
Do it right and Forex Trading
can buy you almost anything, even if you start
out with just enough bucks to buy your first
e-book on the subject. Get it wrong... well,
the big boys use big calculators!
So where do you start to learn
about Forex Trading?
There are hundreds of websites, e-books and
tutorials dedicated to the subject that can
help get you started.
A number of the big online
trading houses offer 'trial' accounts where you
get to play with 'dummy-money' and see actual
results over the trial period. When I tried it,
I lost my shirt, but then, I didn't do any
reading and to be fair, I had in the back of my
mind all the time that it wasn\'t real money I
was betting with. I must say, for a while
there, I was hooked and one day I'll give the
matter serious attention (when I feel brave and
have read enough!).
There are lots of variables
involved with Forex that you need to keep in
mind. In my own experiment, I realized that a
good understanding of basic economic factors
(like budget announcements) have a big affect
on the markets. Seasonal changes, corporate
announcements, big-mergers, war, terrorism are
just some of other important variables that
effect FOREX.
I figured that I could have
increased my chances if I had a plan, one that
included my target currencies and a thorough
history of trading over the last five years or
more. In my view, I would want to know when
government budgets are announced, and have an
understanding of previous movements at similar
times. I would also want a clear history of
exchange movements affected by top corporate
announcements and world plot correlations with
past profit announcements. You will also need
to have a good 'feel' for the abnormal, like
droughts, hurricanes, forest fires, violent
episodes like war, massive infrastructure
building projects etc. You also want to be
alert to new discoveries that might bring
prosperity on a national scale to your target
currency, like oil finds, medical
breakthroughs, even hosting the Olympics can be
a major currency mover.
Remember that little movements
mean massive sums of money have changed hands.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that a half pip
isn’t much. If you have a chance to make money
- take it and move on to your next trade. Don’t
get all head-strong and greedy!
Above all, read what the
experts have to say. Your best ever investment
will be in your own understanding on the
subject, so buy the books, read them all and
then you will have a little of what you need to
succeed in FOREX.
