There are many great websites and tools across the internet that teach Forex Trading. Additionally, many Forex companies offer learning courses; enrolling in a session is a great way to learn from the pros.

2. Start trading with a Demo Account! Most trade platforms provide the option to create a Demo Account as a way for new clients to practice trade. Demo Accounts are a great to get to know your trading platform and build your own trading strategy before you trade. This will also provide the highest value discipline.

3. Choose a reliable broker firm with low spreads and low costs. Before you deposit money into an account, remember, the money you are trading with should be money you can afford to lose.

4. Start by depositing a small amount. Initially only deposit somewhere between $500 to $1000. Before adding to your account, ensure everything is okay and working properly, considering your broker and your strategy.

This uncertainty however is also the key that leads to significant gains in forex trading. The quicker you understand to live with the uncertainty, the more successful you can be in trades.

10. Restrict your daily loss. Never reach a point of completely emptying your account; this will disable your account as you will not have enough margin to open trades. Therefore, restrict your daily loss. If you reach a point of significant loss, it is advisable to turn off your computer and return tomorrow; remember: each day is a new day with new opportunities to gain money.

Some people avoid it because they are inexperienced and falsely believe they would just start trading and make money. I have seen it happen. They quickly learn otherwise.

Not all the educational sources for trading are free. Traders opt for trading courses which are not free.

The 9th point is really important and in most cases, it becomes the difference between profits and losses. It’s not guaranteed that your trading plan will always work in the market. This makes it really important for you to be prepared for all the results that may come up because of the market uncertainty.

All of these guidelines are excellent, but I believe the most crucial is to have a sound money management plan and avoid letting your feelings influence your trading choices.

I agree with this. There are some people who advise others to avoid demo trading because it is easier to make "profits" there than on a real account (less fear and greed, no market anomalies, etc.) and you will have a more difficult job succeeding at a real account. I don't think that's a reason not to use demo, though - one just needs to be careful when transitioning.

I would like to talk about your 2nd point; the demo account! Basically, till now demo is the best way to learn Forex! New traders need to focus on demo to learn Forex; most of the newbies try to make quick money here; although there is no shortcut way to learn Forex!

I believe, money management is the key point! On the other hand, we should believe- there is nothing like 100% in Forex; so if we face any loss, we shouldn’t take this loss personally!
