You can gain experience by learning more about forex trading and open a demo account which is meant for practice. So whenever you learn something new, you can use the demo to practice and gradually you can gain the experience before you start trading with a real account. All the best!
 
With a forex demo account, you can see how the market reacts to economic forces including news events without actually risking your investment capital. However, you must treat this account seriously if you expect to learn from the experience. If you simply shrug off a loss without understanding why the loss occurred, then you are wasting your time and setting yourself up for disappointment.

I am a big fan of demo accounts they are good source of getting experience . Demo accounts are free training for traders. They know market movement , use of indicators and make them skilled in making analysis. They get practice of trading which is the first step of experience.

Of course it requires experience. To train your trading skill, you should try to trade in demo account. Learn every single detail about the platform itself, learn every definitions of Forex itself and try several methods of analysis then pick the one that suits you.

Yes right with experience should make more better, but also will depending how we are can learn from our experience, because not all trader although they are already have long years experience but skill still not differ much and forex still remain risky

No, experience is absolutely not necessary if you want to start trading in forex market. What you require is patience and a lot of practice on the demo account.
Once you practice and check for the calculations of the forex markets, you get to know the secret of real time profits. Also, it is very important to check and test the services of your broker for better execution and good profits.

Time is value in the forex markets. Fractions of second can mean profits for a novice as well!!

Forex trading real is not only about theory, but practice in real condition, although any people they have good mental and patience, but if they never take action and will never get experience, like as the tree without fruity and experience in my opnion still very important, because we will never know if never try.

Hello, I'm not experienced in the trading world as well, but I would never try to invest money to something that I know only a little bit of. I learned the basics through several tutorials online and I practice!! You should really spend a lot of time training until you are confident enough to start trading with real money.

Hi everyone.
I see a lot people suggesting that the best way to gain experience is to "trade, trade, trade". However, in my opinion, even though they are completely right, you will not make the best of your time by just trading. I have just gotten into the Forex Market for two years now, and I can tell you the way I started was to read books such as: ForeX Trading for Maximum Profit: The Best Kept Secret Off Wall Street - By Raghee Horner.
As you read, learn, and build your knowledge on the Forex Market, you can start making small time investments and try out what you read. This way you are not only reading, but also APPLYING, which is the BEST way to learn about ANYTHING. I can give more suggestions of good sources of information to learn from that are unknown to the majority of the public just give me a shout!
Hope this helps.

I agree with this. It's a no-brainer, really. Practice what you learn to learn more!
