Default Newbie to Forex?

I have been investing in the stock market for several years, but recently Forex has caught my eye with claims of huge profits, and I have some questions:1. Is there a site with free tutorials about Forex, the same way Investopedia.com has for stocks? Is there a Forex simulator where I can try it out using fake money?2. What kind of initial investment does Forex require? What are the commissions/fees like if any? What is the average return (%) for most Forex investors?3. Where/how do you open up an account? (I'm Canadian.)4. Is it a lot more speculative/luck-based than the stock market? (A lot higher risk?)5. I've heard a lot of people talking about "systems", "software", etc that they are charging money for. Is there any free software I can get? Are most of the people involved with Forex scam artists or are there some legitimate ones?ThanksAlso what are these "pips" I keep hearing about?Since nobody has answered yet I went and found a great tutorial site on my own, http://www.babypips.com. It also offers links to brokers that offer free demo accounts.

1. forex.com has great turtorials. I believe they have a free simulator. if not them, they are out there2. Forex does require a pretty descent size bank roll because your buying on margin, and you don't want to experience a margin call because of lack of funds.3. Forex.com also offers a brokerage service. I think they are the most popular4. It's defiantly risky. There apparently is a science/art to it, but not one I'm willing to figure out.5. I'm not aware of any free trading systems/software other than the basic stuff you can find on Forex.com and the like.

www.babypips.comwww.forexbastards.comBottom line. Too many people and brokers make FX look like the answer to everyone's financial needs. This is so wrong I can't begin to explain in this short forum.Software, black boxes and even "alert" services will kill you financially. There's only one way to make money in FX;1. Develop your own strategy.2. Remember "Money Management" is more important than having the right "picks".3. Take at least a year to really learn this stuff before putting down one cent. Read as many books as possible, mostly on Technical Analysis and Psychology of trading.This is not the land of "big hits" (no trading is). Position Sizing and Money Management are the most important skills you can learn.

Hi,1- There are a lot of websites with free information about forex:http://www.babypips.com/school/There is also a good series of videos that were used to be free but unfortunately they are not free any more. You have to pay $10 for each but it does worth. If you watch these videos, it will save hundreds of hours of your time:http://www.fxclub.com/video-en/Also at http://www.weboma.com/category/forex/ you can find free daily/weekly signals every night.Almost all of the forex brokers offer free demo accounts which you can practice with the fake money. Here is a small list of the brokers with free demo account:1- http://www.interbankfx.com/2- http://www.northfinance.com/3- http://www.fxclub.com/4- http://www.cmcmarkets.com/The first two have MT4 platform. The last two have their own special platforms.=======================2- You can start trading forex with as low as $100. The leverage is 1:100 but you can also find 1:400 leverage too. If you learn forex properly, you can double a $5000 account every month and there are forex traders who make much more.As you have been a stock traders, you will learn forex much faster and easier because 99% of the techniques are the same.=======================3- For Canadians CMC Markets is the best option:http://www.cmcmarkets.ca/=======================4- It depends on yourself. You can trade wisely or you can gamble with your money and lose it easily.There is a higher risk than the stock market because the leverage is higher.=======================5- There are some legitimate ones but you don't need them. You can easily learn technical analysis and find buy and sell signals on your own. It is not hard.Best regards,Vahidhttp://www.weboma.com/

Hello, I am new to Forex also, my friend who is making great money refered me to the link listed below. I like it because they do not recommend trading everyday. They will pick their spots and make money rather then putting in a trade everyday. And hoping for a high percentage. Good Luck http://www.fxnationlive.com/cmd.php?af=731065
