All that's required from a technical standpoint is a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, a trading platform (software), a Forex broker for a trading account, and of course money with which to trade. It should be noted that many free Forex training programs do not even require a funded account to start.
From that point the next thing that's strongly recommended is Forex training.
The good news in this regard is that all brokers, who often provide use of their trading platform free of charge, as well as third-party trading platform developers, offer some free Forex trader training.
This training most often takes the form of a Forex webinar, which is simply an online class that will supply training on virtually every subject you'll ever encounter with regard to trading Forex.
These classes are held on a really scheduled basis, usually requiring you to register in advance so that you can be provided with any specialized Forex webinar software and a password to log into the training session.
One particularly attractive benefit to this method of training is that the webinar classes are generally saved for repeated viewing or to allow for conflicts in your schedule that may prevent you from attending the event live.
Forex webinars cover every ability level, from the novice to the expert. They are usually identified as intro, intermediate and advanced, so that you can avoid the confusion that a new trader would experience if exposed to webinars too advanced for their level, or the boredom someone with years of experience would feel if they were to take an intro level class.
What makes Forex webinar training so effective is that it combines an expert instructor led lecture with graphics in a way that takes best advantage of how people learn. Most webinars are an hour or less in length and you can ask questions of the instructor or just listen to the questions of other webinar participants.
There is even some free trader training that allows for a one-on-one setting. If you can arrange your time to attend one of these during hours when the market is active, you can learn under actual live trading conditions, ask questions and get clarification, and even test comprehension with simulated or live trading taking place at the same time. This ability to ensure that you completely understand a concept before moving onto another means that you can set the pace of your Forex training to best match your learning style and ability.
Free trader training through a Forex webinar set class is the ideal combination of modern technology and the ability to learn in an easy, non-competitive environment prior to attempting to perform actual trades with real money.
