New Trader , looking for info

anybody have a website with FOREX teaching. I mean real bare bones basics.
Assume that I have not got a clue, and need directions. Looking for more information on Fib Retractions, etc.
Also what are you guys/gals useing for your research? A bunch of the information I am looking for I find out after the fact (and sometimes after its Too late) The calendar here at forex factory has become a useful tool for me, however wanna here what the rest of you are doing.
Thanks Howwwndog

FXCM.com 's education tab is really useful for basic information. This site (ForexFactory) it probably the BEST source of any information that you want to know. Just ask!

Thanks

I will check out FXCM , anybody else with an opinion?

forex.com has a nice learning section as well...

Hang with the best here at the factory. Read the posts from the past, ask questions, and keep coming back. Keep an eye out for the upcoming "Private Forum" which will be a subscribers only educational forum. WELCOME!!

i plan on checking in here at least once each day.

However, I take all information found in forums with a grain of salt.
Some real big money losers are more than willing to drop an opinion about that one time when they got 20 pips.

You have to pay for the education on most web sites such as FXCM and Forex.com. I've actually read their lessons. While they're good, most of it can be found online for free if you look (or Google) hard enough.

If you're looking for technical analysis methods, the same method you use for Forex are used the same way in the stock market, so any education site dealing with stocks such as Investopedia.com will definitely help.

If you want, feel free to PM, IM, or email me and I'll be glad to send you a bunch of free e-books that covers the basics in Forex and trading in general.

GBPUSD is going down to 1.7550 before goin back up breaching 1.7900.

I agree with Pip Daddy, there is a lot of free great helps there so no need to be paying out unless it is for a unique and profitable system but do your due dilligance first as I was burned when I first started by those wanting to "help"...for a fee. I have gatherd quite a few free helps myself, if interested email me as well. HAPPY TRADING!!

awesome guys ,thanks.

I never thought about stock market analysis being applied to FOREX. That might change the places I am looking for information on analysis. I will continue to go to daily FX, and FOREX FACTORY for info. I will not be recomending fx today .co .uk for anything (based on my indepth 1 day use of their recomendations ( ) . And I just might look you guys up for those E-Books.

As far as my trades . I have been tradeing GBP/USD , which took some discipline (read stupidity) not to bail when it got bad. but everything came around with in 2 days and got me 25-30 pips. i have 1 open position that might do well tomorrow with the expected USD volatility. I have been tradeing now for almost 3 weeks, and I am at the break even point, because of a very rough first 4 days. I believe that with enough info this little hobby of mine could yield profit in the days to come.

IF YOU CANT TRADE WITH THE BIG DOGS, STAY ON THE PORCH!

batusay:

EXPLAIN YOURSELF PLEASE!

GBPUSD is going down to 1.7550 before goin back up breaching 1.7900.

What is it for me to explain man,it was so obvious GBP should go down-technicaly! Dont tell me you didnt see it coming...as I give you this message it even go futher to 1.7450. A piece of advise, take GBP long if it dosent breach 1.7420.By the way where do you get your info and what are your basis for trading???

Someone in India needs a ban, ban-ban

wow you were right!


you were ignorant


but you were right.


PS check the title of this thread!

further to the above , dont PM me with something posted in the thread

James16's chart thread is loaded with good information. Mudbuddas system (may have to search back for it) is a good solid money maker. Also check dialists posts he has a lot to say that is useful and Merlin himself has the real stuff. Once you've read all their post you'll have a lot more good information.

Thanks Fiji.
I will check out those threads. I received a PM from somebody yesterday who recommended and awesome website. You guys are all greatly supportive, I appreciate it, and hope to continue following many threads at forex factory!

G'day all,

Would anyone have a link to Muddbuddha's system thread? I've done a search on Muddbuddha (and I'm still recovering ) but it's returned only 3 threads that he has started.

Many thanks,

Andrew.

It always happens...without fail. The moment I post a message asking for something I end up finding it myself.

Anyway, for others that may be interested, here's the link to MB's system (as refered to above):
