Hi Park,

Welcome to the Jungle of Forex Trading

Simply put, it aint easy to navigate the way out of the initial mess that everyone goes through....however, at time if you get lucky and when you have the right advice you can march ahead in the right direction pretty quickly.

1. For fundamentals, I suggest you go to babypips.com (great place to start learning the basics)
2. For trading software / indicator, I suggest you to go to www.profitableforexstrategy.com (Offers one year money back to all serious traders)
3. For trading psychology, better read "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas.

I have given you the best possible advice...Hope it helps.

Wish you luck
Lev
