I have been learning Forex since 2011 and I find it a great way of learning about the market such as the importance of the technical analysis in position, entering and exiting a trade and the impact of fundamentals e.g., the daily price movements caused by below or above expected figures of economic data. The price volatility of certain commodities (Oil, Gold) affect some currencies (AUD, NZD, CAD, JPY) directly and give a clear direction and more confidence in trading.
