3.50 star(s) 2 Votes
It’s not just the case of forex trading but in any other job too, beginners are often not very serious about their careers. Most of them are still filtering out options to see which one works for them. If anyone is serious about trading, they will obviously get their basics cleared first and trade after that.
 
Bad results in forex trading are a result of bad efforts. If you have not been making profits even after spending a couple of years in the market, you probably need to introspect. You need to go through your past trades to get an idea of what needs to be improved.
 
I think beginners have the toughest time as everything seems so alien to them that they have to test each and everything because notions just don’t work in the forex market. Try to learn from as many sources as you can to widen your knowledge and prepare for every possible situation.
 
Forex trading requires risk-taking. You will always be putting your money at risk when you are trading forex. The reason that there is no guarantee that you will get your money back makes it a job of the skilled. Learn before you trade, practice before you take risks, and prepare your mind before you make a loss.
 
Beginners often have misconceptions about the market due to lack of forex education. It is essential to break them first. So can they take a practical approach to trading and avoid risk.
 
To summarise the entire beginner's phase of beginning to trade Forex, we need to look at exactly ten major steps that a beginner must take.
  • Understanding the fundamentals (currency pairs)
  • Understand the software (MT4, MT5)
  • Demo accounts can be used to learn.
  • Find a dependable service provider.
  • Utilize the service provider's resources, such as tools and guides.
  • Test the provider's customer service.
  • Learn about different strategies and put them to the test.
  • Make a strategy for reading the news and conducting independent research.
  • Keep a weekly record of progress and begin making real trades.
 
When it comes to obtaining theoretical knowledge, books are the best place for you to learn. But when it comes to obtaining practical knowledge, micro accounts are the best. You may risk your money but in return, you will get to know how the live market works and what it feels like when you have put your money at risk.
 
Learning forex can seem to be a little overwhelming in the beginning. Nonetheless, nowadays there are countless sources available across various platforms. You can check out podcasts, youtube videos and articles on websites like investopedia and babypips to educate yourself.
 
To all beginners, I would like to say that there is no end to learning when it comes to forex trading. If you want to become a true forex trader, you must be curious to know everything about the market. Your constant zeal to find new ways to make it through the market is surely going to help you in the long run.
 
The beginning can be quite difficult, but that’s the case with any other process and not just forex trading. The key is to remain persistent and motivated because that is how you will overcome the challenges as a newbie and move towards a successful trading journey. As a beginner, your only goal should be to learn and practice as much as you can.
 
I believe that beginners are the most dangerous traders. They are so zealous to make profits that they don’t necessarily pay attention to learning properly and analysing the market. All they do is look for shortcuts and get caught up in scams. They must learn to take baby steps in the beginning so that they are able to take successful jumps in the future.
 
It sounds to me like you have not been getting the basic concepts of trading. I am not sure whether you are finding them difficult or you are not studying thoroughly. But surely, there is some problem with your learning. Find a mentor in person to get help.
 
Forex trading involves taking risks. When you trade forex, you are always putting your money at risk. Because there is no guarantee that you will receive your money back, it is a skilled profession. Before you trade, learn first, practice before you take risks, mentally prepare yourself before you lose.
 
The fastest way to learn forex is to visit the forex market and start following the other traders, asking questions and learning through the trial and error method. The more time you spend, the more you will learn. The more you learn, the more confident you will become. The more confident you become, the more trades you will make. The more trades you make, the more you will gain experience and the faster you will learn forex.
 
New traders need to be careful about what they are doing in the market. Their job doesn’t end when they close a trade. They have to learn from each trade they execute. They must analyse their performance to ensure that they take lessons from what happens in the market and how they can take advantage of it.
 
Learning about the forex market is one of the most important tasks for a beginner trader. Read as many articles as you can about trading, its types, and in-depths. Learn fundamental analysis and technical analysis and their applicability on making trading plans. Learn from people’s losses, they teach you about the market unpredictability. It is also necessary for beginners to learn about risk management. If you find a good free course online with a majority of good reviews, then take it.
As you start trading with a live account, you should start with small capitals (2% rule) and then increase gradually.
