Are Forex Reviews All Fake? How to Safely Learn Currency Trading

If you've ever tried to find some reliable forex reviews (product reviews - to be more precise) then I'm sure you've noticed the number of review sites out there. They're reviewing all kinds of products: robots, systems, foreign exchange software, guides on how to learn currency trading and many more.

The worst part is that the results are not the same on most of them. Which means that a certain product can be ranked as #1 on one site and #172 on the other. And you know what? Some of these forex reviews are not even real... that's because the owner of the site is just an affiliate and he picked the product with the biggest commission as the first one in his ranking... in other words - it's a forex scam.

So you really should be aware of this fact when you go out on the internet trying to learn currency trading or find the perfect forex program for yourself. Just because someone rated some product as the best one, doesn't mean that it will be the perfect choice for you. And I don't mean that the product is of poor quality. I'm just saying that you don't really know what the motive was behind rating a certain product as the number one.

You should be careful when reading the forums as well. You see, often when you go to a forum you will find some bad reviews among other posts, and sometimes you'll get convinced by them. What's worth knowing is that usually the negative voices are louder than the positive ones. People just tend to write and talk about their negative experience more often than about the positive one.

(For example just watch the news. How much negative news there are comparing to the positive ones? It's just the human nature - negative information is just more interesting.)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that negative forex reviews are fake or not important; this is not at all what I mean. Because by all means you should pay attention to them. (Although the truth is that there can be some fake hate-posts written by competitors of certain tools. People do that because discrediting your competition is the easiest way to get more sales.) But because of the fact that people get louder with negative opinions, you shouldn't tie too much weight to them. Of course if there are 1000 negative reviews then you should think twice before buying the product and maybe look for something else. But the truth is that every product has some bad reviews. I mean, if Bill Gates would write a step-by-step guide on how to create the biggest software company in the world, then there still would be some bad reviews of it.

So what's the takeaway from this article? Just be careful when choosing the right product for yourself, because sometimes it's not as easy as it seems.

In a nutshell - don't believe every positive review found on the review sites, and don't believe every negative review found on the forums. This should help you avoid a forex scam.

So if you want to find some reliable information, then you could go to a number of review and comparison sites (sites that are comparing things like: training courses, robots, programs, foreign exchange software, etc.), get the rankings from them, and make your own list of the best forex products. Of course you can't be sure which reviews are real, and which ones are not, but still, it would create a good overall market picture.

I know that it sounds like a lot of work, and it is. Because actually there's no point in spending hours on all the review sites when you can use this time to learn currency trading instead. But I have some good news for you. The truth is that you don't have to do all this work on your own.
