Where to start learning about forex trading?

Where to start your learning journey? 

If you are new to forex, here is a few resources to start with, which I used and can honestly recommend.  (I am not making money recommending thenthere are no affiliate links here.) 

Education sites

Baby pips
http://www.babypips.com/

FX Street education
http://www.fxstreet.com/education/


I assume my blog readers know the forex basics such as what is a pip, lot, broker, broker types, order types, how to use a trading platform (such as cTrader or Meta Trader 4).  If you need to, please visit the sites above to learn.

Your broker will also likely offer free training courses on how to use the platform. (I am not recommending any broker, I plan to write a post with broker selection criteria)

Books

Here is my post about top trading books list.

Trading journals and blogs of good traders

You can find many journals on forex factory forum at http://www.forexfactory.com/
Blogs, you are reading one of them ;-)  OK, for more, do a search for top trading blogs.

I believe materials above are a good starting point for beginners. Move on if you have seen all that already.

Open on-line courses
