Hi, I want to inform you people who are new in Foreign-exchange (forex) trading. Foreign-exchange (forex) trading consists of the buying and selling of world currencies, and its marketplace is among the most liquid in the world. The unique aspect of trading forex is that individual investors can compete with large hedge funds and banks - they just need to set up the right account.

Standard Trading Accounts
The standard trading account is the most common account. Its name derives from the fact that you have access to standard lots of currency, each of which is worth $100,000.

This doesn't mean that you have to put down $100,000 of capital in order to trade. The rules of margin and leverage (typically 100:1 in forex) mean that only $1,000 needs to be in the margin account for one standard lot to be traded

Brian, thanks for the valuable information. Investopedia is a wonderful resource, isn't it? But instead of copying pages of text, you could just copy the link:

Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you and who have no agenda for your reform.

Trading Signals

Trading Signals compare what these forex trading signal providers give out with their own technical and fundamental analysis. And they study which points they agree upon and which points they differ at. And based on these, the forex trader may decide whether to continue with his plans of trade, or revise his strategy in view of the analytical input of the forex signal provider.

Or sometimes, the whole process goes in reverse. A forex trader takes the trading signal given out by the trading signal provider. Then, he analyzes it based on his own criteria. And he comes up with his own concluded plan of trade which is essentially a combination of both strategies. Whatever strategy that can assure him of the highest probability of profit and minimal losses, he would take.
