That's good advice, education and practice. Unfortunately, too many new traders skip these essential steps and start trading live straight away.
 
I start my first trade on 26/05/2010. Of course I didn't know anything about Forex. My first broker was iForex. and my first trade was on the GBPUSD and I lost 3 Dollars 🙂. I relay on indicators and news. I used to trade on 1 hour chart but now I think that the Daily and Weekly is much simpler and better.

In the start most of the traders do not know anything and then later only they come to know about the Forex markets.

I can say the best thing is to learn first before trading.

Yes, a lot of new traders try putting the cart before the horse. It never ceases to amaze me that so many people think they can just open an account and start trading profitably. Lack of common sense and greed.

usually the same people that then find out the hard way that it takes time and effort so they then try to get an automatic trading account or EA to do it for them lol

Started Trading Forex

I started trading FX about 3 years ago, right after dropping out of med-school. Ever since then I have been hooked. I was trading stocks in college. I love forex. Everyday is different, when you think you have the market exactly where you want it. Think again.
