Learn to use charts. Charts are the best way to learn the history of a share or a currency as you can easily visualize the highs and lows of a stock or currency. In forex trading, it is very essential to analyze the charts as the market is highly volatile.
Consider using trading software. Trading robots are available in the markets but it is always advisable to do it manually as some trading companies consider using software as spam.
