There are many courses in currency trading to choose from online and here we will look at some considerations you should make, when choosing a currency course which can help lead you to currency trading success.

Ignore any currency trading course that make the following statements:

• They Can Predict Currency Prices with Scientific Accuracy

No one can do this. If prices were scientific, we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market. Forex trading is a game of odds, NOT certainties

• They will Reveal Unknown Secrets

If someone really did have important secrets they wouldn't be revealing them in a course! By there very nature there not secrets anymore as they have been revealed.

There are actually no secrets to successful currency trading, if you get the right forex education you will have them all available to you, the key is putting the elements together to work for you.

• You Can Earn a Regular Income

This is rubbish! Markets are un-predictable in short time frames and you can lose money. anyone who says you can earn X Pips per month is not telling the truth.

• You can earn Money Scalping or Day Trading

No you cant - why? Because volatility in short term time periods is random.

It's obvious that you can't tell where millions of humans are going to push prices in a few hours. If you try forex day trading, the odds are you will lose - period.

• If a Track Record Looks to Good To Be True It Is!

You will very often see a track record with very big gains and hardly any losses and you will also see this disclaimer or similar:

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".

It's meaningless, as it enables anyone to make any track record they like in hindsight, knowing the closing prices. A forex trading system with one of these should be treated with suspicion and avoided.

What To Look For

Firstly you should look for a 100% money back guarantee with no penalties or handling fees.

You are trusting what the vendor says in terms of helping you get a successful forex trading strategy and its only right to expect, it should deliver what you say.

Make sure the vendors methods suit your trading style - i.e if you are a patient trader, long term trend following is great, if you are not so patient, look for a forex swing trading method.

Make sure the logic is revealed.

The method should be simple and logical and that you have confidence in it - you need confidence to follow any method as without it you won't have discipline and this is the essential difference between winners and losers. You should also ask if the person is a trader and ask some questions just to see what answers you get.

You would be surprised at how many forex courses are not written by traders - but simply are from marketing people, who have no trading experience.

Choosing a currency trading course is essentially common sense.

You should use the above as guidelines to help you and if you want to learn currency trading from a course, there are some good ones around but the vast majority are junk.

This checklist will help you find the good ones.

Courses in currency trading can be a big help to you, so get one your comfortable with and starting enjoying some currency trading success.
