If any material, person, or enticing advertisement on the internet has given you the impression of Forex Trading as a “nothing for something” venture, we wish to appeal to you to disabuse yourself of that notion. Before you begin trading forex online, it is important to adapt to how the market operates, as well as other conditions correlated with Forex Trading. Indeed, forex traders can reap highly profitable results. However, that is after a significant amount of time acquiring knowledge, building strategies, and perfecting their trade. In light of that, it is of absolute necessity that beginners who want to trade the forex market invest in forex courses and education. The money spent here is an investment, and combined with your dedication and skills, you will definitely reap the benefits. For long-term advancement, education in online Forex Trading is a beneficial tool that helps you prepare and make informed trading decisions, instead of impulsive emotional decisions that often lead to account failures. It has been proven that as a result of a lack of proper education, a significant number of beginners lose their trading capital. All kinds of online trading academy courses abound on the internet by many “trading gurus” who promise to teach you to make profits within a day or just a few hours, with one or two workshops, seminars, or a short training course, where they’ll usually tell their stories, how much they earn, and how simple it is for you to earn as much; and yet, only a very small fraction of beginners who take these courses actually benefit from them. This is most likely because many of these “Trading gurus” giving these online trading courses themselves may have come out of the lot who must have lost their capital due to lack of proper education and due diligence. Realising they are unable to make money from active trading, they now resort to teaching newbies in an attempt to recover some of their losses. That is why the trading loss statistics for beginners are that bad. In this article, we will discuss why a good comprehensive forex education is a must before trading online, and how self-education can also contribute to making you a successful forex trader. Even if you have some knowledge of Forex Trading, the market is continually evolving, and trading abilities must always be improved upon. Forex Trading, Not a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme If you have ever wondered why certain professions earn more money than others, the answer is quite simple; the amount of money a particular job pays is directly proportional to the time and effort spent in acquiring the skills necessary to perform it, in addition to years of gaining more experience in the said field or area. This is true for every venture or profession in the world, including Forex Trading. In our previous article, we discussed some facts and characteristics of successful forex traders, which includes possessing analytical skills. Sifting through massive forex data in a few minutes, and analysing the data to spot trends and make decisions at break-neck speed, is a critical characteristic of successful forex traders. This is a skill that has to be developed by concentrated efforts and honed by constant practice over time. A good forex training course, be it in-person at a forex trading training institute or an online forex trading academy, should teach you the language of forex; the terminologies used, including Leveraging, Margin Concepts, Bids, and Order Types. In addition to that, you should also learn about fundamental and technical analyses, and lastly, about trading psychology, which involves emotional intelligence, patience, commitment, and discipline. Understanding the Basics It’s impossible to trade without any knowledge of the basics and having in-depth trading knowledge and a trading plan is paramount to a successful online Forex Trading career. Forex education enables the beginner to grasp the basics of online trading. Online FX Trading has its own language, which conveys a lot of information in just a few words, with distinct terminologies like Pip, Lot, Spread, etc. In addition to its terminology, basic calculations, such as deriving a direct quote from an indirect quote, are also included in basic forex education and training courses. It’s up to you, as a beginner or even professional trader, whether you want to learn bits and pieces of possibly confusing and contradictory information over the internet, or at one go, in a streamlined, expert-developed, properly structured, coherent form, as offered to you by the Geldex Forex Training Institute. Here at Geldex, we offer you a wide variety of resources, tailored for each trader’s level, and pride ourselves in the quality and comprehensive nature of materials available to you, put together by our team of forex experts, analysts, and leading professionals in the industry. Fundamental & Technical Analysis Market analysis is an essential part of Online Forex Trading. There is fundamental and technical analysis in trading forex online. Fundamental analysis refers to one’s ability to interpret macro news, which has a huge impact on the forex market, as they are related to specific countries, economies, and by extension, their currencies. When key market players like governments and central banks release data about macro-economic indices such as inflation or unemployment, it causes currencies to move as well. To an uneducated forex trader, such news may bear no particular significance, but to a trader who has gone through training with a good forex education course, such mutually exclusive events could be reason enough to overturn a solid trading strategy. The ability to interpret news reported at the macro level, and to make informed speculation on the possible direction of a currency, is a skill you will acquire by going through forex training. As a forex trader, the times at which such news is reported may be the time to enter or exit the market, as massive volatilities at these times push prices to extreme highs and lows, creating the possibility for traders to make a fortune, given the right action.

Last year, it had $1.26 quadrillion revenue and in daily volumes it had $1.6 trillion. If the whole of Ghana decides to trade in the digital market, all things being equal, everyone will earn $2,000 daily. “This is how much liquid the trade is and it is an advantage for the unemployed graduates.

The financial market globally has seen one of the most dramatic changes in regards to the insurgence of technology over the past decade after the last financial depression in 2009. The global market is currently seen to have opened up to digitalisation, thus opening up to everybody to play fair as compared to in the 70’s when it was just governments and big financial institutions which could indulge in it. The adaptation of these new innovation and technologies on the market has not been very smooth as governments all over the world are still adjusting to the pros and cons of these developments. The African economy is suffering the most as it’s struggling to keep up with these innovations due to lack of proper systems to back these technologies and support such innovations. It is paramount to emphasize that the next decade would have the world running on robotics and automations, making human labour force a thing of the past. Banks in Africa are fast moving onto the online banking systems, applications that are removing the need for customers presence at banking halls. The digital economy has become the new norm and at a disadvantage to the Labour force. FOREX Trading, a non starter for most Government undoubtedly stands out to be a growing interest in the African financial economy currently. As a digital financial instrument, the sector possess enormous amount of career and financial opportunities. The African youth is gradually gearing towards an alternative career path looking at the unemployment situations in the region. Appropriately, 15% of the 1.26billion population of Africans is said to be engaged in the digital financial market, a current report by Forbes indicated Africa’s adoption of bitcoin (cryptocurrency) is the highest globally with Nigeria leading the chart, an intriguing data that needs further survey. Ghana’s Security and Exchange commission and the Bank of Ghana have acknowledged the importance of these digital innovations especially the blockchain technology . An article released by Bank of Ghana indicated its interest in the blockchain technology and its preparedness to adopt the technology to improve the nation’s payment systems. They also buttressed this point by promising to make currency trading their priority. Ghana currently is among the African countries with plans of introducing a digital e-coin to back it fiat currency CEDI to stability and to properly compete on the global market, a step in a right direction. As the country’s economy is opening up to new innovations, there is the need for the Labour force to meet this opportunity with the relevant technical know how and preparedness in the digital financial market. It is in this light that the WOMEN IN FOREX GHANA, a team of financial market trading experts and analysts is collaborating with other Forex brands such as Lolyfx, African financial Traders organisation and Geldex Invest to put together educational conferences and trainings to introduce 1,000 youth in online trading : The trainings are going to be done across the regions, the 1st training session commences in February dubbed: LOVE IN THE MARKET SERIES. This is a 2day lecture with a charity ball that targets to donate to 3 charity organisations namely: Maternalright Ghana, Menarche-Pad a girl project, Coverme worldwide. Geldex Invest, and indigenous brokerage firm located in Accra that is pioneering the use of the local currency Cedi is the main sponsor of this training. Women in Forex Ghana with these collaborations aims at raising professional online traders and transparency standards on the financial market. The organisation hopes this serves as the beginning of great impact on our unemployment situation and encouragement for upcoming/enthusiastic financial experts to work prudently The overall objective of this project aligns with the goals of the United nation’s Sustainable development Goals(SDGs):Education,employment, empowerment, poverty eradication etc. The financial market globally has shifted from the traditional commerce to ecommerce and it’s about time that our education follow suit.
