Foreign currency trading has always been one of the more esoteric disciplines of investing (or trading) and, as a result, useful information can be hard to come by. DailyFX, a part of FXCM (www.FXCM.com), provides current news and analysis of major currencies around the world. A wealth of information designed to educate people on foreign exchange trading is available for free, although you do need a username and password.

The website has a straightforward layout. Hovering your mouse over Forex Market News allows you to choose Market News, Daily Briefings, Forecasts, TV and Video, Weekly Columns or Real Time News. Each section provides pertinent foreign exchange information that ranges from in-depth articles to quick forecasts. Real Time News is constantly updated throughout the day and will keep you abreast of the latest headlines in the currency market.

The Technical Analysis section provides links to articles, candlestick charts, daily technicals, sentiment and pivot points. For the most part, these technical analysis links are easy to understand and provide an accurate representation of the biases of currency traders. In addition to the comprehensive technical analysis articles, the site also provides RSS feeds.

Analyst Picks is an interesting section of the website. The picks are updated daily and RSS feeds are available. Furthermore, you can follow each of the analysts on Twitter.
