Currency Trading Basics in forex trading
To learn forex basics you will need to book onto one of these courses, and in a moment we will show you how you can have the course paid for by being clever about when you attend.
It is vital that you begin with a course that teaches forex trading basics, as there is nothing worse than finding yourself on the wrong course and out of your depth from the beginning.
Basic level courses tend to be billed as "learn to trade the stock market". Most people have never heard of forex, but everyone's heard of the stock market, hence the education companies focus their basic trading courses on stock trading. Remember, most of the principles are identical, and at the end of a stock trading course you will be just as able to trade forex as anything else and will also have learned the vital skill of trading money management.
Even for these basic level weekend courses the education companies will charge you a couple of thousand, and although they do usually offer to let you bring a partner or friend along for free, even still it's expensive
- but what if you could have it paid for?
Forex Signals services enable even the novice trader to trade profitably almost straight away. Our suggestion if you're on a tight budget (and we wish we'd done it this way around ourselves) is to proceed as follows;
Select a broker
Attend / view online the broker's free forex training tutorials so that you know how to place and manage trades
Subscribe to a full-service forex signals provider and 2 - 3 other signals services (around USD $100 per month each - but should quickly pay for themselves)
Purchase a few forex robots (one off cost of around $100 each - but should also pay for themselves quickly)
Test the signals and robots on your broker's demo account, to make sure they're profitable, or make adjustments until they are. Once you're happy, trade them on your live account and starting reaping in the profits.
Then use the profits you make from trading signals and robots to pay for your forex course - effectively giving you free forex training.
Thereafter either continue to trade the signals and robots, or develop your own educated trading style aided by the prompts from the signals and robots. Hence your forex training is paid for and you get the best of all worlds.
Subscribing to a full-service signal provider from the outset really is forex made easy and has the added advantage of giving you daily access to an expert trader's screen and a regular forex trading tutorial on what he's doing. Hence you will have already seen in practice many of the concepts which you will then learn in depth on your forex course, which will hopefully make learning forex much easier for you.
After you've been through your forex trading education, you will have new skills, but you must be aware that you will still lack experience. The worst thing to do with your new skills would be to ruin your own confidence in them by immediately trading a string of losing trades. Therefore we recommend that you subscribe to a full-service forex signals provider straight away if you have not already done so, so that right from the outset you are trading alongside your own personal forex consultant.
Think of it like when you learnt to ride a bike - you used training wheels first didn't you ? Only when you had your balance and had learned to fully control the bike did you ride off on your own. Your trading should be no different. Don't expect to be a profitable expert trader after just 3 days or even a week in a classroom learning forex trading.
It's important not to think of signals as extra cost - quite the opposite, they're a way of keeping loss-making trades to a minimum and optimising your profits.
