When you are first starting out in the world of Forex trading there can be the desire to learn from others and receive some reassurance, in some instances this will mean seeking out help in online forums. Taking advantage of the advice people give you must always be done with a grain (sometimes a boulder) of salt, and this cannot be stressed enough. Being able to adequately understand and utilize the advice of others can be very difficult depending on their skill level, so be aware of this and try not to do it prior to having adequate experience. Asking certain questions might appear foolish to some users who could be rude towards you, but do not worry about them. Everyone has to learn something for the first time, and if someone gives you a hard time for it that is their problem.
Taking the time to at least know how to phrase a question is important though, it is no good to ask a question that cannot be answered and you need to realize this before posting in a forum. Forum etiquette is also something that needs to be born in mind when approaching others for help, being rude will not get you anywhere. Keeping accurate records of your forex charts with .jpeg files will make it much easier to communicate your thoughts to others. Being able to coherently seek out help about what type of system or indicators you are using is also something you need to be able to communicate, so try and keep those things in mind wherever possible.
This is a type of assistance that can seem daunting to many who do not like asking for help, but it can be among the most rewarding help available. Do not make the mistake of passing up some very effective assistance that will come to you completely free. Be sure to communicate with any forum moderators whenever you are prompted, and when questioned take the time to provide answers in a timely manner. There will be numerous opportunities in which other traders will share their winning strategies with you, and will answer your questions about them for free. This is something that many people seem to take for granted, but you can take advantage of the opportunity if you choose to. With the huge number of forums available it should be no trouble at all for you to find one that works for you.
