Hi,
I personally use the forex killer software and I have been trading the forex market for about 2 years. This software is pretty new and I have only been using it since early Dec 2007 but I have had a lot more trades ending profitably than ever before since I started using it. Check out
http://bestinternetresource.net/Forex%20Killer.htm and get it for only $9.95 instead of $200
I also recommend learning the basics:
http://www.babypips.com.
Also
http://www.etoroforexgames.com has a great platform to start with.
Their platform makes it easy to understand what is going and it is unlike any other
platform in the world. They also automatically put in stop loss orders for you,
offers its services for free, and there are no commissions.
