How does a Forex online trading system work?

Public Comments

1. You can buy & sell currency pairs (the relationship between two currencies). As an example, the US Dollar in relation to the Canadian Dollar. Forex is highly leveraged.

Contrary to what the Forex brokers & Forex scams want you to believe. Learning Forex to the point where you can be profitable year to year.... can take 3-5 years to learn. Forex trading is much harder than stocks.

2. A trading system is any set of rules that you use to determine when to buy, and when to sell. For example, "buy when it is low, and sell when it is high" might be considered a simple (probably non-working) trading system.

You can spend 10 or so years trying to make your own trading system. Or, you can buy a trading system. Or, you can get some trading systems for free at http://comefollowme.zulutrade.com/Performance.aspx

You do need a system, to be successful with the Forex. Even if you use any of the free systems at the above link, you'll still need to use good money management if you want to survive. You can have a good system for buying and selling, but if you overtrade, you can still blow your account. Basically the best and most important money management skill is patience, and to trade very small.
