There’s a bit of confusion being experienced by newcomers to Forex about Forex self learning programs and exactly what they are. Basically there are two different types of Forex self learning programs as you’ll see in the information that follows. 

The first type of Forex self learning program is one which teaches you about the ins and outs of Forex trading. This can be in the form of a series of Forex tutorials or a Forex trading course. These range in complexity from the basics of beginning Forex trading to extremely advanced and esoteric techniques.

Forex self learning programs of this type may be accessed online or in the form of a home study course that is delivered to your home or office doorstep. The other alternative to learning Forex is a Forex trading seminar. These are particularly advantageous as there is an instructor there to answer your questions. The interactive nature of Forex trading seminars makes them an ideal setting in which to learn.

The second type of Forex self learning program is actually software. This is software that is specifically designed to be self-learning. This means that it analyzes the markets and will select the best course of action for you to take based upon its own success in the past. This type of Forex self learning program may utilize either artificial intelligence or genetic algorithms or a combination of both.

We have just covered a basic overview of Forex self learning programs and the two distinct types which exist. One designed to help you learn trading and the other designed to make trading decisions for you.
