What is the first step needed to learn Forex trading?

The first step in learning successful forex trading is to study as much material as you can find on the Internet.

Like with learning anything new, you need to gather as much information as possible in order to develop an understanding of how the industry or topic functions. Everything else builds on what you learn when starting out.

Example:
When you start a career in an industry or trade which you know nothing about, you start by learning as much as you can about the work you will do.

The auto mechanic learns about the specific car engines he will work on and receives guidance from an experienced auto mechanic.

The baker’s apprentice learn about the tools of the trade such as mixers, ovens and the like, as well as the material he will use in baking before he actually starts to bake.

Aspiring doctors, architects, online traders, ice cream sellers, all have to gather as much information as possible to help them in honing their skills and ensure a successful career.

So, the very first step in forex trading is to gather as much knowledge as possible.

You can learn from someone else or you can learn from experience, but experience is more expensive.
