Bitcoin & Forex Trading — A Practical, Honest Beginner’s Guide (PDF)

A practical, honest guide to forex and cryptocurrency trading for beginners across Africa, in two parts. Part One: how markets actually work, a dedicated chapter exposing the specific scam patterns targeting new traders in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya and beyond (fake WhatsApp/Telegram "experts," signal sellers, cloned broker apps, fake arbitrage bots), how to choose a legitimate regulated broker, real risk management fundamentals, reading charts, building a genuine trading plan, and trading psychology. Part Two (new): the exact mechanics of placing a trade — reading a live quote, lot sizes and pip value with worked numbers, leverage and margin math, all four order types, a full step-by-step first-trade walkthrough with real position-sizing calculations, managing an open trade, and the execution mistakes that blow accounts fastest.
