This post is just perfect for newbies I must say too, it gives an around summary to basics in forex. Which is what every forex beginner should be familiar with. The post here can be a useful guide to all those interested in forex, though there are definitely more to learn othere this.
But this can be a good start for newbies.

I think forex is dynamic and so are the brokers in the market, recently my broker just upgraded their bonus offer.
It was a shocker when I saw it on the page.
I was surprised to see a 500% bonus promotion...It is really huge, the offer scared me at first, but after much inquiry it turned out to be real.
Bonus offer can be a great add for newbies, especially to get the needed aid and confidence.
