This tutorial was inspired by the experience I had during the period when I first heard about Forex trading and how profitable it could be. The first time I heard about online Forex trading was from a newspaper article that I read. This article raised my curiosity with its promise of the prospects of earning a regular income from online Forex trading. In a country where employment rate ranges in the high 50% and Internet access being not so very far away, Forex seemed like the way out to all my problems.
So I went to the Internet to find out what I could and I was surprised at the sheer amount of information available on the subject. This made me very happy because I knew I could find out everything I needed to know so I started digging.
After a couple of weeks of regular research, I became satisfied with the amount of info that I had been able to gather, at least I now knew what Forex was, it’s history, how it really worked and numerous other tips on trading. At this point, I decided I was ready to begin but then I ran into a new problem which I had not realized before: I did not know exactly where to start.
Granted, I knew everything I needed to know for a beginner and I wanted to start performing the actual live trade and start making money, but I did not know WHERE EXACTLY TO BEGIN.
I kept asking myself:
“Now I know everything but where exactly the hell do I begin?”
“I know I need money to trade but who do I pay the money to? How exactly do I get MY money into the Forex market?”
And finally “When I start making money, how does it get to my hands at the end of the day?”
I searched high and low on the Internet for the answer to these questions but they were nowhere to be found.
This was when I realized that everybody on the Internet talks about Forex trading, making money, pips, trading tips etc but nobody remembers to show the absolute beginners or newbie newbies exactly where and how to start trading. What software to use to connect to the forex market, etc.
So this is why I decided to write this tutorial.
