Without a doubt, the most significant impact to have occurred on the foreign

exchange market in the past 20 years has had little or nothing to do with foreign

currencies themselves – it has been the advent of first computer technology and

then the Internet. Prior to both these technological breakthroughs, profit taking

from currency trading was the sole realm of large institutional investors. Today,

thanks to both of these online currency trading means everyone has the chance

to make a profit from FOREX trading.

Hardware needed to start online trading

If you are interested in taking advantage of the opportunity to make some profits

from online FOREX trading, then you will need to have access to either a

desktop computer or a laptop computer. You will also need to have access to the

Internet. Ideally your access to the internet should be broadband. Once you

have these in place you’re almost ready to start.

Software needed to start online trading

As well as having access to either a desktop or laptop computer, you will also

need to have access to software programs that can hep you to analyse your

current investment strategy. Here you can either decide to have your software

program via the access to the Internet, or you can elect to download a software

program to your computer so that you can have access to it and work ‘off-line’.

Either way, although it possible to currency trade online without a software

program in place, it is not a recommended course of action to take.

Opening an online brokerage account

Once you have your hardware in place, you can also open an online FOREX

brokerage account by which to transact your foreign currency trades. Some

things you need to bear in mind when opening an online account include: (i)

whether or not the software program will be provided to you for free; (ii) whether

or not you’ll be paying a commission on trades or whether the broker will be

making their money through their ‘spread’ (if not both); and (iii) whether or not

you can leverage trade using your online broker.

You are now in a position to start trading foreign currencies. However, before

you execute your first online trade, it is highly recommended that you spend

some time educating how online trades work by taking the opportunity to learn

foreign exchange trading using a dummy FOREX trading account. Once you feel

you have sufficiently mastered your way around all of these, you are ready to

start online currency trading.
