What the FOREX is?

Forex education is crucial for beginners.

Choose an Online Broker

• Before trading Forex you need to set up an account with a Forex broker. What exactly is a broker? In simplest terms, a broker is an individual or a company that buys and sells orders according to the trader's decisions. Brokers earn money by charging a commission or a fee for their services.
• Forex is a 24-hour market, so 24-hour support is a must! Can you contact the firm by phone, email, chat, etc. Do the reps seem knowledgeable? The quality of support can vary drastically from broker to broker, so be sure to check it out before opening an account.
• Most dealers offer very small “mini-accounts” for as little as $300. Mini-accounts are a great way to get started and test your trading skills and gain experience.
