I’m interested in learning about currency trading for the CNBC million dollar contest. I’ve done pretty well with stocks (by pure luck), but am clueless about Forex trading. Any help will be appreciated. NOTE: I don’t even understand the language it uses.

I am 20 years old and ready to start an investment portfolio….Well more like learn the fields. I think I want to start with stocks an really hone in and work on it then move onto FOREX and real estate.. If you’re an investor can you offer some free advice? Or maybe tell me how you started out? Even if you aren’t an investor how do you think I should go about this? Would a Business degree help me with a concentration in Finance? Hmm I need a tutor I don’t mind being an apprentice I have no job or real money I am starting straight from scratch. Yeah I know…No money how will invest right? Well, that’s not something I need to worry as of right now since I am still just learning the different Investment fields….

Ok, I’m trying my best to learn about the Forex market. I’ve dabbled with stocks and heard that Forex is the way to go. I’ve gone through many sites and found a couple. One that stood out was http://forexglobalonline.com/ but wanted to see what other sites could teach me the fundamentals.

Thanks

Forex is nothing but the foreign exchange market where money itself is being bought and sold. Learning Forex trading means understanding what forex is and how to make use of the forex market to earn good profits by investing proper amounts. In order to learn forex the following are the things that are to be understood:

First off, in the Forex market there are three levels. We have the brokerage accountants, the real accountants and the students. The brokerage accountants are the brokers who let the buyers and the sellers to trade there currencies. They mediate between two firms or individuals. They are the Market Makers who will set the currency values and will help the traders to trade. The real accountants are the clients who are investing in the market in order to try to get some profits from the same. The students are beginners who are trying to understand the market with the help of training courses, simulators and the like.

Forex Market should not be confused with the stock market. Stock market is one where users deal with stocks and try to make profits with the increase in the stock values, forex deals with making profits with the increase in the currencies. It is more of an objective market. In the forex market if the participants want to change or manipulate the values of the currencies for certain purposes, they can do so by operating with billions of dollars or any other currency. Since it operates on such high values the manipulation of a single participant in the market is not a possibility. But the liquidity of this market allows both sides of traders to open and close the situations. The time that a trader will occupy a position is highly arbitrary and is dependent upon the strategies that he follows through out the trading.

It is also important to note the fluctuations in the currency values.

Another important term which we’ll come across when we are learning about forex trading is Margin Trading. Margin Trading is where traders trade with borrowed amounts. It allows traders to start trading with lesser capitals than what is normally allowed. It reduces the overhead expenses of having to transfer money and enables the traders to open there positions with lesser amounts of U.S dollars thus buying and selling other currencies. In forex it is not necessary to actually buy some currencies to sell it later. It is enough for the traders to actually open the positions for buying and selling without having any. But even to open positions it is necessary to invest a certain amount in dollars. The major currencies that are traded in the forex are euro, yen, pound, franc all of which are traded against dollars.

These are the basics that need to be understood to learn forex.
