Because most newbies were starting into this business with their greed and would likely stop learning after several losses from their first steps. When you're learning deeper about this business, don't involve your greed!

I remember when I got some training from my mentor, he said 'Don't you ever thinking about making huge profits when you're learning about this business' and 'You're not a trader if you haven't getting your live trading account MC'ed'
From this couple words, I got myself understand that this business is similar to any other kind of business that we should dedicate ourself first.

being that forex is international, and there is obviously more scammers than actual teaching, who would you suggest for paid education?

Yes I agree with you,I have met a few .I would say a guy called Anton Kreil is probably the only guy I would trust as regards any on-line training or one to one.I have checked his background and looked at all his videos,I met his business partner in Dublin a few months ago for a lecture,Jason McDonald.I have no connections with either of them,just people ask me who to trust when it comes to professional training.I got training with IIFT but that training was in a lecture room environment not on-line,they do have on-line training but its Investing.

My dad says if it was easy everyone would be doing it...

Hola, ilusos, el trading retail es una manera más de perder tiempo y dinero.
OK.

Everyone has to start somewhere. There's plenty of free information and tutorials on the Internet you can learn from, and if you can get professional training it's even better. Also, exercise on a demo account for at least an year before you even try trading with real money.

Yes indeed,there is lots of free information online,but you wont know which is useful and which is rubbish,unless you have professional training you will be reading every sentence on every news report,when you get professional training you know what to read and what info to retain.

Sorry to hear that, but if you have no idea what you are doing. Probably best not to trade forex at all. The odds are against you and you most probably gonna lose everything you deposit. If you can find a good mentor, then you might have a chance. But again, most courses online are BS. So you need to be very careful and educate yourself about forex.

I have been in the business for years and I am still learning, everyday. Good luck!

Yeah this is true FX is not for the inexperienced,actually the odds are about 60/40 for the eur/usd in your favour but its actually where you put your stop losses and how much you let your winning trades run,holding on to losing trades will kill your account in a short time.

Yep. The only way to gain experience is to actually trade as often as you can. That's what the demo account is for.

Agree! I used to chase gurus and signal subscriptions until I blew 2 accounts. That is when I realized I had to learn it for myself, as I can trust only my own judgement and take responsibility for my own losses.
One year later and I'm still on demo. Until I can at least make a demo account double, there's no point in putting anymore real money on the line.

Completely agree. Demo accounts are were I first learned about different strategies and which ones worked and which ones didn't. It can be tough to translate this to a live account with real money (trading is an emotional and psychological game). I mentioned elsewhere to try and find a broker who can offer you some sort of free live account where they deposit $50 for you to start trading with.

XM offer free $20 account
SpearFX offer free $30
Silicon Markets offer free $100 account
Tradeo offer free $25

Just some examples

Yes what every you read but you will not get confident if you don't spend time in the market, by spending tie in the market you tend to know about the market movements.

Unfortunately paid services (if you get the right one) are the best way to learn - LOTS are scammers, but the simple way to seperate those out is to check out 1) reviews on FPA and 2) their credentials - if they arent backing up their teachings with some live verified results, avoid like the plague. Simple....

As a seasoned trader, my advice is this - study the fundamentals - ie the economy, what the central banks are, what makes them tick and in turn how they manipulate the markets... learn to 'know whats going on' before you learn about how to open and close a trade.

Hope this helps

Unless you have some kind of background in Finance or Econ,unless you have got great training from a professional,unless you have self-study of the markets for 3-5 years,worked in AUM , you are wasting your time and money trading Financial markets.Only then you have a chance of beating the odds.You need a rounded view of the whole market not just one slice.
