Starting Forex

Okay. How do I even start this? What platform should I use? How do I place the trades? (like through who or where)

Re: Starting Forex

Get exercised first! Open a demo account in a broker and set some trades to get familiarized with sell and buy (short/long) and how the price of a currency pair moves. Better to choose a currency pair which is familiar to you.
Search on youtube the zulutradechannel! They have made some really good videos where forex terms are explained in a simple and understandable way. One of it has 25.800 views...
(A woman with short hair is on the video)
Hope you get a good help.

investopedia has a web-based fxtrader that doesn't require the hassle of opening a demo-account

Re: Starting Forex

I think that the best place to start is a demo account. That will get you familiar with the platform.

Additionally I think your first deposit should be in Binary Options. It is a great way to learn the basics and then take what you have made and learned into a real trading platform. This is how I started.

You can also do this risk free. The results of the system I have used are below.
