Does It Suit Your Trading Strategy?
Have you already chosen a forex trading strategy that satisfies you? Or are you considering several forex trading systems, but you need to test them out first?
If the answer to either of those questions was yes, you need to make sure that the forex trading software you use fits with the forex trading methods you’re considering. The trading software must analyze the data that you think it does, or else you’ll be making decisions based upon incorrect data and that can spell a really bad day at the office.
Can You Afford It?
Finally, and for some, most importantly, how much does this forex trading software cost?
If the cost of the forex trading software is out of your price range then you should consider improving your skill at reading forex indicators and analyzing the data on your own. More importantly if you can’t find a forex trading software that compliments your forex trading methods than any price is too high.
These are just some of the questions you should ask before using forex trading software to trade forex. As you learn more about the forex market you will add more questions to this list to help you put that money to better use.

Trusting Other Forex Traders Opinions
Should You Trust Trader Feedback for Forex Trading Software?
One question that you should always ask yourself is what are other forex traders saying about this forex trading software?
You may think that others who trade forex can’t possibly give you information because you’re ‘competitors,’ right? Wrong. The goal of trading forex is to make money plain and simple. If one forex trading software works better than the others, traders will be the first one singing its praises.
Look at online forums and forex trading blogs to see what your colleagues are saying about the many brands of forex trading software on the market.
Is There A Free Trial?
Its human nature to want to test a product—any product—before laying out your hard-earned cash for it, and forex trading software should be no different. Make sure there is a free trial period that allows you to test your forex trading methods on the software.
The trial period can be 5, 14 or even 30 days, but it should give you time to test the software. If the forex trading software you’re considering doesn’t work with the forex trading strategy you’ve decided upon, then it’s no good to you.
If a forex trading software provider doesn’t offer a free trial, ask yourself what they are trying to hide.

Forex training courses
Once your forex trading books have given you the basics of trading forex, you may want to sign up for a forex training course. These courses can help you plan which forex trading strategy will work best for you. Forex training courses allow you to implement different strategies so you can see the flaws and advantages of each forex trading strategy.
You should however, be careful when choosing a forex training course. In addition to being costly, many online forex training courses are simply a waste of money and will leave you worse off and without a hefty chunk of change. In person forex training courses tend to cost much more, but if it’s something you’re interested in, choose an instructor that actually knows something about trading forex.
Forex Demo Account
The next step each beginner trader should take to learn forex trading is to sign up for a forex demo account. This account will allow you to implement the forex trading advice you received from the books and the forex training course you attended. This is an important step in learning forex trading because it prepares you for the ups and downs of live trading.
What’s more is that a forex demo account allows you to tailor a trading style to suit your trading strategy.
Skipping this step can cost thousands of dollars in start up costs. Plenty of people think they’ve learned everything there is to know after attending a forex training course, but without the forex demo account how will you know if that is true?
