Aug. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- A common question asked by traders, is whether or not forex forums are useful places to spend time, and whether the information that is offered there is valuable. The short answer is yes, they are absolutely valuable, and a great resource for free, quality information. But like anything, you need to know where to look, and you need to know what kind of information you can expect to get from there. You also need to know how to approach using them as part of your 'knowledge gathering' process, and what you should avoid at all costs.

Forex forums have been around for a long time now, and a quick search of the term in Google will reveal a wealth of information sources, some good, some bad, and some completely useless. For a new trader, it's very easy to spend too much time analysing information when really you should be trading yourself, and this article will hopefully help you to get the most out of the time you spend in forums. http://tinyurl.com/nbnx46

The first question you should ask before spending time in chat rooms and forums, is what kind of information do you want to get from them. Are you looking for a trading system? Are you looking for advice? Are you looking to find someone in the same position as you, that you can track and monitor and compare your progress against? You can find all of this in any of the good forex forums, as long as you are prepared to look. But you need to make sure that you strike a good balance of your time, and don't spend forever becoming overwhelmed with information.

Make sure that you take into account some of the commonly known statistics relating to forex traders. It may or may not surprise you to know that at least 9 out of 10 people who enter the forex trading market will ultimately end up losing all of their money and walking away from the markets, never to return again. So what is the likelihood that the forex forums that you frequent are full of successful, savvy traders who earn all of their money from the financial market? Slim to zero I'd reckon. Chances are, most of the people there are clueless, trying desperately hard to catch a break in the forex world. So, I'd advise that you look for the big posters, the major contributors, perhaps even the moderators, and look at what THEY are doing.

The most common mistake that people make in forex forums is trying too hard to learn from other people's mistakes. People try so desperately hard to avoid making the mistakes that other people have made, that they end up not trying anything for themselves, and don't lost any money because they never invest any money in the first place. The best thing you can do when trying to make your money in the world of forex trading is to spend too much time thinking, and not enough time doing. Put a small amount of money down, open an account, and start trading, just the smallest amount you can get away with. It will be the best forex education you can buy.
