Thinking to start FOREX trading? So what is the right way to start? What should be your next move?
For all these questions I have one answer i.e. learning the basic aspect of the FOREX Market. Learn from the background information present.  From my experience if I had to give a one word suggest to beginners in FOREX that would be go Steady. In the start you should go slowly. A reckless approach can be fatal. 
 Learn the ropes around and increase your experience. Gather more and more information. 
Be like a magnet and attract all the knowledge of the market towards you. One thing you need to make sure is that the sources of information must be reliable. Often ill-informed pieces of news will make you do wrong things. Try to make sense of the stuff you hear. Don’t just trust blindly. Read good books about FOREX Market. The most you can learn is by gaining knowledge about top FOREX traders. Make them your role model. Learn a thing or two from their trading processes. 
In the beginning do not use massive amounts in trading. You need to curb your eagerness and zeal. Ease your way into the market. The temptation is to try to earn thousands in a night but that is not as easy as it seems. 
The old professionals are very smart and organizations will also be high on capital. So what you need to do is make a smart strategy.  At the same time you must avoid a complex strategy. Use the technical analysis and follow the chart. Once you will be able implement a workable strategy than you can earn a lot of money.It is the mindset which is most important. 
Traders have to put up to a discipline. A trader has to be able to take losses. The idea is to keep loses at minimum. The fact is that you will lose many but you would have to shape your mind in frame to curtail the loss and make big gains. The top man on FOREX lose from 30 to 50 percent trades but when the win they win big. The key to this is having discipline to curtail the losses. The focus should be keeping the loss margin small. 
The problem with new comers is that they fail to maintain their discipline because they get emotional too quickly. Again it comes back to word mindset. You need to be realistic in your expectations. You may run a period where you get lots of gains or a period of consistent losses. In both conditions you need to have a balanced approach. Reevaluate your strategy. Consider your actions accordingly.
A little fine tuning might just be the tonic that you need. FOREX trading conditions are also like normal market conditions. Outside factors have adverse or positive effect on the market conditions. The interest rates and the strength of the economy are the most important factors. So as a beginner you need to keep an eye all the above mentioned stuff.
