3. Practice TradingPractice trading in a practice account. Make sure that you are in your practice account and not trading actual funds. One indicator is that you normally have about $50,000 to practice trading with in a practice account. Your normal account will only have the funds that you have placed inside it.Knowing how to start trading forex online will help you to bring in extra funds during this weak economy.
4. Find a MentorFind a mentor online that you can go to each day for a daily update of their forex predictions. They will let you know what currencies they are buying and selling that day and where you should place your stops or buy and sell orders.You can sell currencies short and buy to cover just like you would with stocks. Currency trading accounts will automatically sell your currencies if your account is about to go into a negative balance. Never trade more than you can afford to lose. Only put an amount into your account that you can afford to lose, once it is in your account it may bet used up if your currency goes in the wrong direction. Trade with caution.
