Stock market for beginners

If you're a beginner, you shouldn't underestimate what it takes to be a successful forex trader. You need to do the following:

• Make a commitment
• Set up a rigorous learning programme
• Understand forex trading theory
• Attend seminars
• Read online materials and books
• Learn how technical indicators work
• Get practical trading experience – this is the most important thing

Many beginners just open an account, make a deposit and start trading. Unless you're very lucky, you're not going to be successful this way; the chances are that you'll just lose your money.

When you start out trading, don't get discouraged. It takes time and effort to become a successful forex trader, but it's worth it. Above all, learn to be self-critical; we all start out making mistakes, and unless we learn from those, we don't progress.

Forex4you reduces the risk of learning the forex market. Open a Cent Account and start making trades for as little as two cents. You'll learn forex trading using real money, without putting large amounts at stake. You'll get the benefit of our expert recommendations and we'll even analyse your trading performance.

Develop a system

Wanting to make money isn't enough. The forex market isn't a casino, where you either get lucky or you don't. There are basic rules to follow, and ways of analysing the market that can increase your profits. Unlike a casino, successful traders do make money consistently of the forex market; to do this they practice and develop a system.

Your system shouldn't just follow market indicators and recommendations blindly. These are good tools, but you need to see how they work in reality. That's why getting trading experience is so important. You need to apply these tools based on your experience, and develop a system that works for you and fits with your temperament.

When you join Forex4you, you can talk to other traders about their systems, and learn what works and what doesn't for them. You can also share you own system, and get feedback on how to improve it.

Enjoy your trading

Forex trading is about making profits, but you must enjoy it as well. If you're successful, it will be a full-time occupation, and your need to get satisfaction out of doing it. Keep in mind the benefits:

• Be your own boss
• You can trade any time and anywhere – no need to go into an office
• Your income potential is unlimited
• It's interesting and as fast-paced as you want it to be
