Free Online Forex Trading Courses

Over recent years online forex trading has now become big business and certainly in the financial sector this is the biggest market of all in the world. The reason why this market has grown compared to the many other financial markets is because of the rise in the number of traders working online rather than using the more traditional method of trading by using the phone. Because of this increase there are a number of sites which are now offering to people the chance of learning about this through taking free online forex trading courses.

However as with a lot of things in life today sometimes the best things in life are not for free and certainly the same could be said for many of these courses. When you are considering taking an online forex trading course, there are a number of things that you will need to take into consideration.

1 . Who is offering this course?
2 . Just why is it they are offering to provide you with a book to learn about forex trading for free?
3. Are they actually offering this course because they are promoting a particular trading site and then want you to enroll on it?
4. Once you begin to read the book do you find that they are being extremely pushy when it comes to actually getting you to use a particular website to invest your money in?

The answers that you provide to the above questions will help to show you just how honest the information being provided to you for free is.

One way of discovering if the free online forex trading course that you are looking at is of the highest standard is by looking at how much of the information contained within it is replicated elsewhere. You will soon learn that a lot of the information you find in some of the free online forex trading course books can easily be found when you search the net.

So rather than using these books or courses to teach you how to trade on the Forex market instead use the advice and articles about the subject that are being offered on other sites. Plus why not join one of the many forums that have been set up and discuss your issues with some of the people here. They are people who have been trading on the Forex market for some time and will often offer you the best advice when it comes to finding a suitable course for learning about forex trading.

Certainly the better free online forex trading courses are those that do not limit themselves to telling you about how one company trades. Rather it should be providing you with views of all the sites that are available and which are run by established companies. Any such courses should be prepared to provide you with everything that you need to know about the world of forex trading and not restrict you to using the services of just one or the abilities of one company.

What is Forex Trading - for Beginners - Part 1

A Sneaky Way to Steal Someone Else's Forex Trading System

Anyone who is serious about trading needs to have a forex Trading System that is tailored to them, but there is no reason to start constructing your forex trading system from scratch.

Why try and reinvent the wheel when you can benefit from other traders years of experience and borrow your trading system’s ideas and concepts?

It’s easy to do, and there are some pretty good forex trading systems out there for you to work with. Some of them are free and some are very expensive, but the price tags don’t always reflect the actual value of the forex trading systems. But , many of these systems won’t work for you, and I am not talking about out-right dishonesty here, which can be a big problem when trading. What I am talking about is your ability to effectively trade with the system that you may be considering using or buying.

You need to use a system that matches your life style and personality. If you have a day job (not trading), a forex Trading System that requires you to stare at a screen all day wouldn’t be appropriate. You would be distracted at work and miss the opportunities to make money, or even worse, you will not close a trade effectively and could lose money.

Some forex trading systems have a potential to lose 20, 30 or 40% of your money before they are profitable. Can you handle a system that can drop your trading capital to half before making money? Or, are you prepared to have a string of 8 to 10 loses in a row before you have a winning trade? Some of the best traders in the world lose money on more than 50% of their trades. These are all important points to consider when you are creating your forex Trading System. Choose aspects of the different systems that are out there that fit your trading style best, and then build your forex trading system.

An excellent trading method, which was made famous by Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt and is sometimes referred to as Turtle Trading, is one of the best forex trading systems that I know of. They get returns in excess of 20 to 100% per year using this system. But , could most traders trade their system? Not a chance! Dennis and Eckhardt also loose on over 60% of their trades.

Once you know what sort of forex Trading System will work best for you, look at the components that make it work. Face it; if you are a new, or even a fairly serious, trader how likely are you to come up with a totally new concept? There are some very smart and wealthy traders out there. Why not use their ideas. Consider Dennis and Eckhardt’s turtle trading, their system is based on a “breakout” method. I know most traders could not trade using their exact method, but they could take parts of it, such as the breakouts, to confirm a trend.

You can also use other forex trading systems to give you an outline of what parts a system has to have for it to make money. All great forex trading systems have these three basics:

1. Entry Rules,

2. Money Management Rules and

3. Exit Rules.

Study and learn from the forex trading systems out there, borrow their concepts, and steal their ideas. It will put you on the track to the system that will make you a successful trader.
