Rare Treats – Good Forex Blogs
Since rapid forex returned to the Internet on February 21st, I’ve been blogging daily on the rapid forex blog (sometimes three times a day).
I’ve been wanting to connect with other forex bloggers to help share the good information that’s being produced by other forex bloggers with my own blogs’ readers. Over the past few days I’ve been shocked at how hard it is to find good forex blogs.
At least 9 out of every 10 forex blogs out there are total spam marketing hell-holes.
It’s actually been difficult to find good forex blogs.
Diamonds in the Rough
Fortunately, there are some good forex blogs out there. I’ve discovered some good blogs that I think you would like too. Although I haven’t followed these blogs for long, for each one of these blogs I’ve subscribed to through RSS so I can see the new developments as they happen. As I track these blog posts, I’ll be sharing the very best with the Rapid Forex Blog readers 
If you want to stay in tune with the blogs that I’m reading, here is my list for now:
- FirePips.com – very active forex blog by a 29 year old forex trader. I noticed an article he wrote and thought that this guy was cool and he’s pretty passionate about trading forex online.
- Fxpath – this is James Chen’s blog with daily market commentary provided by fxstreet.com. Plenty of chart examples. Looks like a great way to see new trades develop daily.
- Forex Blog – news blog covering international stories relating to forex. Provides insight into how major international developments are affecting the forex market.
- Forex Crunch – Yohay Elam’s forex market commentary blog. The first post I saw on his blog had a really cool video where he was on a CNN-type talk show and provided insight into the US healthcare reform’s impact on the USD for forex trading. This was on my mind and his commentary was helpful for understanding this issue.
- Forex Magnates – contains posts from several different forex traders, also talks about brokers, regulation, software innovation, etc… Looked like some interesting articles to follow.
- Kathy Lien – Professionally done personal forex blog by Kathy Lien. After quickly browsing her site I immediately subscribed to her RSS feed. It looks like she has some good information to share.
- Forex Articles – basic looking forex blog, but it looks like they are tracking forex trades with profitability updates. I’m going to watch these develop and see how well they do.
- Macro-Man – provides some cool analysis on developing trades. Great looking screenshots & written to be more interesting than a lot of the very dry forex commentary that’s being published on other forex blogs.
- Alan’s Forex Blog – Active blog with good content. More focused on forex trading courses than analysis, but there are good articles as well as reviews of paid courses.
- Rapid Forex Blog – provides information about how to be an unstoppable forex trading genius Ok, maybe it doesn’t quite do that yet, but that’s where the rapid forex blog is quickly heading!
When I started writing this post I didn’t realize it would turn into a top ten list. These are the blogs that I’ve chosen to follow for now. I may unsubscribe from some (if I do I’ll let you know), and I may grow to love some and share tons of great wisdom with you from them.
Reading Any Other Good Forex Blogs?
I haven’t been a forex blogger for very long. There’s probably tons of great stuff out there that I don’t know about yet. If you have found some killer forex resources, let me know by commenting on this post. I’ll check them out and let the rapid forex blog readers know about my findings.
Have Your Own Forex Blog?
Anyone who reads & comments on the rapid forex blog gets special treatment.
I subscribe to your blog’s RSS feed!
Even if you only blog once a year, let me know if you’ve got a forex blog (by commenting on this post). I’ll be watching for your posts, leaving some comments, and even blogging about your posts.

@Tom – these are blogs that I’ve just discovered. I wanted to share that discovery with the readers of this blog. I’m sure I’ll have a lot more insight after following them for a few days.

I’m only reading your blog Brian. If another blog points out something cool, you’re gonna have to tell me to go check out what they said. Better yet, tell me in half the words what they said
This way, when I make my first $100,000 trading Forex, I’ll honestly be able to say it was 100 of your blog my friend.
You Da Man!

Hei Brian,
Just to let you know that Forex Magnates is in part focused on the Forex industry itself i.e. it talks about brokers, regulation, software innovation, etc.
And some of its content is indeed written by forex traders.
Thanks for mentioned Forex Magnates on your list!

Hi Brian,I bought your forex package sometime ago and have practised a lot and want to trade live with fxcm.com. I want to start with their micro acount with $25.00 but I want you to explain to me before I start because this is not in your course book. The question is, If I have this columns in my trading account ( BALANCE =$2,737.21 EQUITY = $2,766.11 DAY P/L USD =$26.20 USD MR $37.50 USBL MR $2,728.71 USBL MR 98.65% since I started with only $25 but was given $5,000 to trade which of the profits can I withdraw into my bank account? is the balance or the profit of $26.20? Best regards Benoni

@Benoni – When Forex Sailing is complete (probably by the end of April), you’ll understand how to place trades, manage your money & grow your account. For now, just learn the theory. You’ll have rules to follow for everything. Nothing will be left out. After Forex Sailing is complete, I’ll be trading with it for 90 days and showing you everything I’m doing & why – so you can do it along with me

Hey, I just found this from google, thanks for the list – I’ve been looking for decent forex blogs recently. You’re right, it’s difficult to weed through all the spam.
I started a blog just recently (and I damn well intend to keep it going!
), feel free to drop by!
