Forex Tips and Tricks for Beginners

Stepping onto the forex arena for the first time might feel a bit daunting, but keep these currency trading tips in mind and you’ll soon find yourself running with the pack.
  1. Casinos are for gamblers. The forex  markets are for traders who are interested in the investment, not the big win. Study and analysis will prove a far better ally than long odds or luck.
  2. Practice makes perfect. Before you start throwing your money into an account, practice with one or more of a variety of demo accounts. This the most critical of all  forex tips for the new trader. Get good at analyzing and actual trading before you start plunking down your own funds.
  3. Find a good broker. Do your homework and find a broker that fits your trading style and philosophy and offers the features and services you want.
  4. Don’t buck the trend. Trends mean that more of the same is up ahead. Keeping with a trend will help you continue to make a profit. Generally, when the trend is up, don’t sell; when the trend is down, don’t buy.
  5. Check your emotions at the door.  Forex is about methodical analysis of the market trends, not about searching for the next hot trade. The trader who lets his or her emotions take control is the one who will watch profits drop and losses skyrocket.
  6. Overwhelmed traders make mistakes. If you find that the data sitting in front of you is too much to handle, then stand up, walk out, and take a break. Then, back up a few steps and go to a place in the process where you feel comfortable. Stay there for a while, and take baby-steps when you’re ready to move up.
  7. Guarantees are like unicorns and leprechauns – they don’t exist in this world. If someone tries to tell you that they have forex secrets, like a system, trick, or bot that guarantees a profit, you have only one thing to do: Run away – far, far away.
  8. Patience really is a virtue. Of all currency trading strategies, this last tip is one of the most important. Don’t expect to make your money all at once. Build it slowly over a large spread, by using consistent money management, and you’ll be able to weather almost any forex storm.

What's more important: Trading Method or Trading Psychology?

Ancient argument: What's determines success in trading: A successful methodology  Psychology and discipline?  Answer: BOTH! But this is not a "chicken or egg" dilemma. Clearly in this case method comes before mind. I don't care how much self-discipline you have. If you don't have a viable trading methodology, then you will lose money. So method is more important. Well, maybe "more important" isn't the right phrase to use. But it definitely comes first. The reason I say it may not be more important is because there are many valid trading methodologies available. Yet ironically, traders keep jumping from one method to another ... one indicator after another  one book after another  one mentor after another  one seminar after another  This is the infamous "search for the Holy Grail." Sorry ... doesn't exist. Like most things in life, people keep looking for the answer outside of themselves, w

Top 100 Online Forex Brokers by Popularity

The Popularity Rankings below are determined by the broker's website popularity, both in terms of website traffic and links to the website from other places on the Internet, and the number of individual trader ratings. We are not trying to determine the largest broker as in total trading volume but rather the broker that has the most interest to the greatest number of individual retail traders. In other words, someone with a $50 account counts just as much as someone with $1,000,000 account. In the future we hope to incorporate the actual number of individual retail accounts into the calculation when that information is available. We will also track whether a forex broker is moving up or down in the rankings and how much.                           Popularity Rankings are presented for informational purposes only.
