The key to succeeding with Forex, just like in anything else in life, is to get the proper training. Common wisdom is that who you know is more important then what you know, but in some cases that’s just not true. Does it matter who you know when you’re trying to drive your car, or to paint a picture? No, of course not. Trading is a skill like anything else. To get good at it, all you need is the time, the materials… and of course the proper training.

So, how do you find the training you need? The answer is, that there is no one good answer. There are literally millions of sources of information, from books, to articles, to video courses and seminars… different people learn in different ways, and it’s up to you to find out what works best. My advice, is to practice something I like to call “information overload”.

If you just want some quick and easy success, you can buy a Forex robot to automate the system for you. And sure, that will work, but it’s not nearly as good as putting the time and effort into becoming an expert. It all depends on whether you’re willing to commit the time to achieve true mastery. If you are, then information overload may be for you. On the surface, it seems a simple enough technique, but when practiced regularly it will allow you to become and expert in any field you wish – including Forex trading.

So, the first step in information overloading is to go down to your local library. Find the books on Forex trading (I’m sure there are some!) and stand in front of them. Close your eyes. Pull a book off the shelf. I have no idea what that book is, but it’s about Forex, and that’s what you’re interested in – so go check it out.

You now have your first source of information. I want you to carry it around with you, everyday, wherever you go, and read it whenever you have a spare minute. On your lunch break. Standing in line for a cruller. Whenever, and wherever, you can. And most importantly, make sure you read at least a dozen pages before you go to bed! That’s right. Every night, without fail, read your book and go to sleep thinking about it.

You see, whatever you are thinking of immediately before falling asleep, is what gets imprinted most strongly on your mind. The purpose of all this reading is not to learn anything. The chances are, if you picked a hard book, you may not even understand it. Doesn’t matter. Don’t even try to figure it out. Just keep reading, passing all the info through your mind, until you finish the book.

Once you’ve finished the book, you can go get another one. Just keep doing this, randomly taking books and paging through them, until you’ve had enough exposure. You’ll know when this is, because you’re mind will start producing facts and figures you weren’t even aware you know. Someone will say something about Forex you couldn’t have got before, and you’ll suddenly realize you know exactly what they mean. You may even start dreaming about foreign exchange. Don’t worry, this is totally natural, and you’re doing well.

The second stage of information overload, is directed reading. Now you’ve filled your brain with knowledge, it’s time to start learning. Go back to the library, and this time take a look at the books. You may be surprised at how well you know them, and can understand what they’re saying. At this point, just let your instinct guide you – don’t listen to anyone else. Your subconscious is full of Forex knowledge, and it knows what you need to learn.

Now you’ve overloaded yourself with Forex information, studying it suddenly becomes incredibly easy. As you read through the book, carefully, you’ll probably experience a sense of deja-vu, as all the things you didn’t know you’d learned fall into place. Take care this time, and really study the material, and you’ll be astounded at how fast you can grasp it.

Well, you know know everything you need to master Forex, or anything else for that matter. Of course, for Forex in particular, there is plenty more advice I could give you – but this will do to start with. If you really want to accelerate your learning, I can also suggest you use a program to help you. Most Forex trading software comes with the option to simulate trades, and this is excellent practice – hands on experience is a great way to learn, and a huge help if your just starting out. So if you’ve got the money to spare, I would strongly suggest you find some decent Forex training software to help you out.

Best of luck to you!
