For many individuals, visual media is exponentially more useful than traditional black and white text. In the arena of active trading, markets are typically viewed, not read. The days of the ticker tape are long gone, and in its place are interactive charting applications. In an effort to cater to the visual learner, the forex video library at FXCM presents dozens of video clips addressing a vast array of topics:

In addition, FXCM’s video library includes comprehensive entries covering its proprietary trading platform, Trading Station. The series covers basic functionality, advanced features and accessing the market via mobile application, among other topics.

For those traders local to London or inclined to travel, the 1st Wednesday of each month offers a seminar entitled "The FXCM Afterwork." At the seminar, advanced concepts pertaining to trading plan development, psychology, risk management and the broader forex environment are discussed in-depth.

Along the same vein as the seminar, live interactive classrooms are held online and are easily attended remotely. Many topics are covered during the classroom sessions, and they range from specific aspects of technical analysis to advanced platform functionality. Classes are scheduled on a regular basis, with past sessions catalogued and available for quick reference.
