As a novice what is the best way to learn about forex trading? -

Firstly spent some money on educating yourself Secondly, learn all about technical analysis. Thirdly practice on a DEMO account for at least 6 monts. During that time test your trading strategy and hypothesis. Till you think you have a style of your own for a start. If you cannot resist the temptation of a real trade , go for a mini account, there are several sites that have mini account. I use FXCM. It works great for me. For a start i would suggest get hold of Dr Alexander Elders Forex trading books. They are excellent for beginners. It not only talks about the technical aspect but also the psychology of trading, of taking a trade. Of taking a loss. Of taking a profit. Believe me. 80% of the game is a mental game. Traders make or break right here. Imagine there are millions of traders out there from small to big. If nothing else get hold of that book it will reveal Forex Trading in a very real and practical way. http://www.geocities.com/lcming/ForexFor...
