Thanks for doing this, I was working in China as an Expat from Jan 2005 to Oct 2010 and was very shocking to see the permanent changes in Euro, Yuan, USD and Mexican Peso (I´m Mexican working at that time in a Spanish trading company and all my life the inflation was very normal) so I got interested when a friend start to explain about Forex market and how to profit from it… at that time I was betting on Silver and make decent gains in 2011.
Now I want to try again in forex, as still have similar exposure to other currencies in my daily work.
While I trade MT5, it’s very much a personal choice. In my case, I spent a long time on MT4 demo, and MT5 is a newer version, and just as easy. Having said that, many new traders prefer the latest fashion provided by safe regulated brokers - who offer several choices.
If you open a demo account or even two - to familiarise, you can experiment and choose what suits you best.
