First, establish a clear picture of what you want to achieve. Try to identify what your end goal is. Then, create a business plan -- including a time frame -- that will help you achieve your end goal. Then, choose two reasonable objectives and develop a business plan around them.

Brokers sometimes sell "expert" advice on forex trading. The advice is in the form of a forex trading system, often called a trading robot. The theory is that if the robot can make money trading forex, then you can too -- and if the robot teaches you something new, then it's a good opportunity for you to learn. (Some of the forex trading robots available are a signal-based system and aprogram based in wisdom not unlike cent amateurs.)

Second, leverage is a myth. Many brokerage houses do not allow theORT occurs of margin calls. Margin calls occur when the CFD broker has more stock than the account holder, or more than is allocated by the account holder. This does not happen in the equity market for one simple reason: The equity market requires more money to create the same amount of buying power.

No one can guarantee how long a position will be held. While some positions will be held for months, others will be open for years. When investing, there are risks -- big risks -- and those risks normally arise from overexposed positions. Try to avoid overrev exposure of your account whenever possible.

Third, don't fall into the trap of diversification. Diversification is simply a way to spread your risk. When you have many positions that expose you to the risk of losing all your money, you can be cut of at your most critical moment. Simply put, there is no "fade the difference" in the risk vs. your desire to profit.

Finally, you need to know when not to invest. No one knows the lowest price. No one can predict the highest price. Therefore, when the time comes that you think the value of a particular currency is going to fall, don't wait. Sell it the minute you think it will fall.

Fundamental analysis of a country is very important for those wishing to trade currencies. The purpose of fundamental analysis is to look at various macro economic factors, including Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross National Product (GNP), Consumer spending, and a countries currency strength.

There are many professional traders that make use of fundamental analysis to trade currencies. However, for the beginning investor, this type of trading is best to stay away from it as this trading is very complex. Currency trading is not for the timid.

Fortunately, there are many software products on the market that are designed to analyze currency data as well as tell you which currencies should be bought and sold. There are many of these products, but many of them are scams. Some of these products using gut-feel, or intuition based on patterns of the past performance of a currency. When you buy a piece of software, be sure you buy one that has a proven track record of results and a guarantee of success.

Remember, it's really just a game. Everyone wins and loses in this game. Be sure not to lose your pants in the process, but stay confident in your skills. And remember, when you run into a problem, just ask for assistance from their technical support staff. There are many of these products on the market.

There are some really good programs that are on the market today.
