I want to learn and learn

I have a simple and easy EURUSD strategy that always works and profitable. You will not make this profit on it (https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/1087598-free-copy-trading-285-profit-in-4-weeks?), but it generates nice profit. Drop a message, I will write the strategy and setup and then you can test it on demo or micro account or anywhere you want.

You are already at the place where you can find a lot of forex and trading related stuff and can learn all about trading systems and many experience traders can help you to find right way to make more bucks in forex trading.

Learning forex is easy. No need to go to school or class, it's on the internet. But, what you need to learn is which trading method is effective.

True advice. If a new trader wants to learn there are much learning material on internet and youtube, You should only have the will of learning and you can be a successful trader.

I believe that the best way to learn how to trade forex is trade yourself and read forums.
As for the 'literature' there are 2 things that I don't like concerning forex: 1 - in most of the cases books are purely theoretical. I mean that they can contain some reliable and useful information but once you absorbed it, you may find it difficult to apply the knowledge on practice. 2 - Such books become outdated very fast. Forex market is really dunamic thing which changes its trends and tendencies every week, that is why I don't recommend you reading some really old books even of renowned and influential authors.
Trading forex is a skill but not only knowledge. It is actually a skill to get the information about future movements of the prices, so you should not only know how to do technical analysis, for one, but also you should be able to do that in real situations. Anyway, you can use forums to get help from more experienced traders.

Learning is very important and you never can be successful if you lack in knowledge and skills. Always learn the because of forex before start trading.

Do not forget that the market tends to change, and you always need to follow the changes in order to keep abreast of events.

Im in a similar place, trying to learn as much as possible at the minute.

Am working my way through babypips at the minute as well as trying to get to grips with Elliott Wave

Yes, babypips is a good free resource for learning

You are already at the best place to leran new ystems and strtagies about forex and can get a lot of good stuff and can learn alot.

I think you need to develop your own style and find a system yourself

If you look for indicators and strategies, its a bottomless pit, you can get lost in there forever

I would start with something simple like an MA cross, or anything really

Its not a matter of does it work, its more like where does it work, when does it work

Indicators can be like your trigger, but you need to learn when to pull your trigger, and you need to learn this for yourself, because nobody will be sitting next to you

As a beginner, you need to know that there are no shortcuts in forex trading. If anyone tries to fool you by showing you lucrative shortcuts to make money, avoid them and make your own way.

Any serious trader can learn at least 80% of what he needs without direct assistance or the need for a mentor. For many traders, the cost of materials and mentorship in forex is completely out of reach. This has spurred a desire for self-education in the forex community, and I must say it is not an impossible undertaking.

It's a great desire, nevertheless you should understand that if we speak about trding activity, you can't only learn and learn actually, because if you want to become a successful trader, or at least, you want to generate a bit of money, then you should also practice a lot. The best option for you is to practice on demo and learn theory. I personally started the same way and I bet it's useful. Traders often forget about the necessity of learning and start do some strange things, like losing their money because of uncoscious decisions or something like that. Never follow such examples and try to follow only successful traders in order to attract success in your life.

For beginners I would definitely recommend Babypips, it gives you your basic understanding. All the learning takes time. I would also head to youtube as there is so much info there. Take a look at ICT's work - highly recommend.

Thanks. Somehow passed me by, never used.

I am trying to understand the difference between MT5 and MT4 - which should I use? I have indicators that can be added to MT4 - can these be added to MT5 too?

There are countless videos on YouTube, books, websites and other sources you can take advantage of if you want to learn forex trading. Spend some time reading articles or other materials but for a strong understanding of technical aspects it’s good to practice on demo accounts. Learning how to trade alone is not sufficient, having in-depth knowledge of the currencies that you buy and sell also has a great impact on your success.

There is a lot of forex information available on investopedia, babypips, and youtube. Once you are through all this, you can open a demo account to get an idea of the live market conditions before you start using your money to trade.

The basic concepts of trading are almost the same in stocks as well as forex. If you know how to trade one asset you can learn to trade another asset quite easily than someone who has never traded anything in his life. For scalpers specially, learning technical analysis is very important because it is the only way you can be quick in your decision making,. No nonsense Forex is a good youtube channel for learning this.
