The Forex market is fast becoming one of the worst kept secrets to building wealth. And lots of investors are jumping onto the bandwagon eager to make a quick buck without one very important consideration – you need to learn to trade Forex before getting yourself wet. Yes it’s possible to start with a small capital and build up your wealth quickly in Forex trading. Compared to other forms of investment, Forex trading offers several advantages, such as high leverage, no commissions, liquidity and the ability to trade anytime anywhere so long as you have an internet connection.

Yet, the brutal truth is that 95% of traders lose their capital within the first few months trading and once burnt, never return again! Why is this so? Because many so called investors are actually gamblers and treat the Forex market like one big casino…

If you want to make money in Forex, then you have to learn to trade Forex before doing anything else. Let’s put it this way, would you drive a car out on a highway before obtaining any training?

There are 3 ways one can learn Forex trading:

1) One of the most effective ways to learn to trade Forex is to enrol in a workshop with hands on practice. These are normally 3 day to a week affairs and are catered for newbies to intermediate traders where the instructor takes you through from the basics to advanced strategies. An advantage of attending a Forex trading workshop is that you get to meet the instructor face to face and will be able to ask questions. You’ll also be able to network with other participants.

The downside is that these workshops usually cost thousands of dollars, which could be better spent on trading capital. Once completed, it’s usually over so you have to concentrate and try to learn as much as possible in the short time.

2) Another popular method to learn Forex trading is through home study courses. These normally consist of a set of DVDs that you can watch during your own convenience. The better courses will have a support element where you can contact the instructor, sometimes through a website and a forum where you can meet other trainees.

The advantage of a home study course is that it usually costs less than a thousand dollars and you’ll be able to replay the material over and over again until you understand the subject matter.

3) Finally, once of the most popular ways to learn to trade Forex is through reading reference books. Obviously this is the cheapest option, maybe even free if you can borrow a book from the library. The downside of this is that it might be difficult to motivate yourself to finish multiple 500 page books. And of course, with the hundreds of books available in the market, how do you determine which are the quality ones?

Whichever method you decide to use to learn Forex trading, it is extremely important to educate yourself before throwing yourself into the deep end. Remember that the aim of Forex trading is to make a profit, not short term thrills. For that, you can always visit Vegas.
