A Forex Trading Guide

By Verimont MacPhire


Before thinking about going into forex trading, you first need to familiarize yourself with how the whole thing works. It's just like going into a battle; you need to know what you're getting into.

Forex trading wouldn't be complete and possible without a forex broker; so you really need to get one whether you like it or not. After finding a reliable one, you'll need to open a forex trading account. This may take you some days because of the processing period.

If you have already a forex trading account put up, you can move on to the actual forex trading. The number one decision you'll have to make is the type of currency you desire to trade. One of the most traded currency pair is the EUR/USD. If you want a less popular one, you can get the EUR/GBP which won't instantly make you have great losses. After making that currency pair decision, you would need to open up a char and make a trading analysis; this will help you choose the kind of trade to use.

If you've already truly decided on your kind of trade, you can now put it into action. Brokers don't have a single site format for this. Some brokers allow you to right click right on the chart and make your trade, while others have buttons that say buy or sell. This can be effortlessly figured out because these sites are usually user-friendly.

At the same time, you should put a limit order on the price of your trade and a stop loss also, since both would help you avoid losing a lot of money.

After putting the trade, you can post your order to the trading market and allow the it to do its magic. At this point in time, you can just sit back and relax and let the programmed logic make your decisions for you.

Once the trade is finished, you can visit your forex trading journal and start you next foreign exchange trade.
