In the forex market, traders often work under a lot of pressure and have to face a lot of difficulties on their own.
That is why forex forums exist: a place for traders to talk, and to learn from each other’s knowledge and experience. With large memberships, a number of forums have become useful places to look things up.
Below are some of the best-known forums in the world for a trader to look at. The list was put together in 2021, so check that a site is still running before you sign up. The status of each one below was checked on Sep 23, 2026.
A word on safety: a forum is a place where anybody can post, so it is full of disguised advertising, “sure-thing calls”, offers to manage your account for you and trading robots that are a fraud. Do not follow a signal blindly, and do not send money or hand an account to a stranger. Read more: How to spot scams in the Forex market.
1. The Forex Factory forum
One of the largest forex forums in the world is Forex Factory, which many traders already know. Forex Factory has a great deal for a trader to use, from the calendar of important news releases and the board of breaking news through to the trading threads where members discuss and put forward their own view of trading.
Forex Factory stays at the front of the online forex forums because of the sheer number of people using it and how well known it is. On top of that, Forex Factory has one of the best economic calendars, news pulled from a great many sources online, and a constant stream of updates from the market, so there is plenty for a trader to pick from.
2. The Babypips forum
Babypips is a forum for new traders; it puts beginners first, but it also carries discussions that suit traders with experience.
Babypips has a lot of sections built around different approaches, such as fundamental analysis, technical analysis, automated trading and trading strategies. It is an excellent forum for building up what you know, especially for a new trader.
If you are new to forex trading, leaving the babypips forum out would be a real omission; most traders around the world suggest starting here. Babypips has its school, running from the basics to the advanced material, and the threads are looked after by traders with experience.
3. The EarnForex forum
EarnForex has around 17 boards covering a great many subjects, from fundamental analysis through technical analysis to trading systems.
There are boards in other languages, including Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic and Ukrainian, which helps traders who want to learn wherever they live.
4. The EliteTrader forum
EliteTrader is divided into groups of boards: general topics, markets (stocks, options, index futures, commodity futures, forex, crypto), technical topics, brokerage firms, professional trading and a community lounge.
Anything you post is public to the whole community and you get an answer quickly, and the layout makes it easy enough to find the subjects you care about.
It is a very large forum with a lot of subjects, a good part of the membership trades intraday, and there are threads about digital currencies as well. On Sep 23, 2026 the site reported 129,046 members and more than 5.5 million posts.
The drawback of this forum, though, is that so many people take part that it takes you a while to find the good posts.
5. DailyFX
Unlike the community forums, DailyFX was a news and analysis site owned by a broker: FXCM at first, then IG Group from 2016. The DailyFX forum closed, and over recent years the analysis moved across to IG’s own website. As of Sep 23, 2026 the site no longer exists at all: dailyfx.com now redirects straight to ig.com.
DailyFX used to draw a lot of traders, including people who were not customers of the broker, with its analysis pieces, its forex education and the number of languages it supported. When you read anything on a site owned by a broker, keep in mind that they have an interest in attracting customers.
6. The Trade2Win forum
Trade2Win really is a large community, meant for every trader in every market, and it describes itself as the leading UK financial trading forum, running since 2001.
Its boards are sorted into groups such as Reception, Markets, Styles, Methods, Trading Career, Commercial and Off the Grid.
There is a section for discussing forex in particular, to help traders with the problems they hit while trading.
Trade2Win has a lot of long-standing members, so there are a fair number of good posts, although you still have to weigh up the information yourself. On Sep 23, 2026 the site reported 273,358 members, 110,908 threads and about 1.8 million posts.
The busiest boards are Index Futures, General Trading Chat and Forex, that is to say the index market that UK traders follow and the currency market.
7. The Forex TSD forum
The Forex TSD forum was known for showing all the newest discussions together with the links to its sub-forums, rather than pinning subjects to the front page. It no longer runs on its own: forex-tsd.com now redirects to the MQL5 forum, where the old threads and members were moved.
What Forex TSD was good at were its large sections on indicators, robots for MetaTrader 4 and harmonic trading. One note: only download an indicator or a robot from a source you trust, because the file may carry malware.
8. FXSTREET.COM
FXStreet.com is probably familiar to a lot of traders. It is mainly a news, economic calendar and market analysis site rather than a forum, with a number of specialists posting updates every day.
There are also comment and forecast pieces on the currency pairs; treat those as a point of view to consider, not as a signal to trade on.
9. The Forex Abode forum
Forex Abode was a forum that leaned more towards market analysis, with a fairly readable layout. It did not respond on Sep 23, 2026, so check whether it is back before you look for it.
The site also held a large stock of material useful to a forex trader, including free trading algorithms and a section for trading systems, aimed in particular at new traders without much experience in the market.
10. MyFxbook.com
Myfxbook (along with the Signals section of MQL5) is where a trader connects an account in order to get statistics and to publish a trading record; that was what Myfxbook set out to do in the first place. On top of that, Myfxbook has gone on to add a forum, an economic calendar and a good many other tools.
It is also a place where traders look at each other’s results in order to learn. One note: past results do not determine future results, and plenty of people show off a profit in order to sell signals or a course, or to ask to manage your account, so look carefully at the drawdown and at how long the account has been running before you trust it.
