Forex 101: Newbie - Absolute NEWBIE

Here we go!! Another Forex article written by another Forex wannabe!! NOT WRONG by much!!

Here's the difference:
I just set up a new twitter account: 2whare with the express purpose of following & learning about how to trade on the Forex Market - so i went in search for anything resembling FOREX & came up with a number of people using Forex as part of their twitter username!

So, i decided to check each one of them out, starting with: forextrading165 (this is his username)

First Glance:
  • No Bio
  • No web/blog/squidoo link
  • 131 followers
  • 369 following
  • 12 updates: first 31 Oct 08 - 2 Mar 09
Not very busy at all!

Anyway, i decided to look into his Updates, starting with the first one dated 31 Oct in which he mentions an article worth looking at but doesnt give a link!!

"I came across this forex currency trading article the other day. It’s got some great information on why forex can be so lucrative."

The next update (dated 6 Jan 09) though has a link:

So, scavenging around this site i came across an article which our 'guy' had submitted (some two months ago!) - there's a photo with a real name!! Its a SCRIBD page! Now Scribd is a social publishing site where anyone can upload & share their documents.

So, i tracked down his documents on a separate page and found a BIO!!

[1] Uploaded Jan 09: Forex Trading Education: The basics you need to know to make serious profits today

Great title i must admit! [just what i am look for - let me explain - i am absolutely NEW to FOREX TRADING!!]

Content? - sections:

  • Trade with your head not with your heart
  • The secret to true profits
  • Forex Trading Software?
  • Conclusions
Is that it?
Lets drill right down!!

Trade with your head not with your heart
  • Forex is purely mathematical & historical.
  • There is no emotion or instinct involved
  • It comes down to predicting & analysing previous trends & applying this to live markets
  • Reading on the history of Forex & how the market operates will stand you in good stead for future profits
The secret to true profits
  • Learn the basics of the foreign exchange first before using a system or software!!
  • Successful traders make their millions by consistent small profits
  • They achieve these through leverage & having large amounts of capital to play with
  • You are not going to make thousands through one trade
  • The foreign exchange market is extremely volatile & & small profits are the pathway to serious forex profits
Forex Trading Software? [or systems]
  • These are platforms or software that allow you to interpret marketplace data & base decisions to trade upon
  • Some platforms are automated - known as forex robots

Thats it!!
