BabyPips.com helps individual traders learn how to trade currencies and understand the global markets that move them.
We introduce people to the world of currency trading, global macro, and financial markets, providing educational content to help them better understand what drives market prices and become more informed traders.
Back in the day, before iPhones and selfie sticks existed and when internet trolls were still cute baby goblins, we discovered the world of currency trading.
We soon realized how extremely hard it was to find useful information online for beginner traders. And it wasn’t just about learning how to read a chart or place a trade.
To really understand currencies, you also had to understand the bigger picture: interest rates, inflation, central banks, economic growth, bonds, stocks, commodities, geopolitics, and how global markets are connected.
If we did find something interesting, the content usually covered only a handful of forex-related topics.
Few sources specialized in forex, and everything was scattered. There was no single place for beginners to learn forex trading.
We were left to learn about support and resistance on one website, MACD on a second, trading psychology on another, risk management on a 10th…you get the idea.
And if you wanted to understand why the U.S. dollar was moving, what the Federal Reserve was doing, why bond yields mattered, how oil prices affected currencies, or why markets suddenly went risk-on or risk-off?
Good luck.
There was no single place where beginners could learn forex trading while also building a broader understanding of the global economy and financial markets behind those moves.
We knew there had to be a better way.
So we built it.
For more than two decades, BabyPips.com has been one of the least crappiest websites for learning about the currency market.
Before the Justin Bieber era and when Paris was still more popular than Kim, BabyPips.com started with a bunch of educational articles filled with corny jokes.
Today, we cover currencies, global macro, and financial markets to help traders better understand what’s happening, why it may be happening, and how different parts of the global financial system connect.
Our goal is simple: help traders become more informed, more curious, and better equipped to make sense of the markets they participate in.
We don’t claim to possess super-trader abilities or market wizardry. We’re also not here to fire pocket-hole-burning bolts of “hot tips” at oblivious victims.
You’re not going to hear us make mythological claims about making a quadrillion dollars a day so you can build your dream château on your own private island, complete with an active volcano and multiple lava infinity pools.
BabyPips.com exists to help newbie traders avoid blowing up their accounts, whether through poor trading decisions or by getting bamboozled by the Brotherhood of Evil Marketing Wizards, the retail trading world’s equivalent of snake oil salesmen promising easy money and holy grails.
We created BabyPips.com as a resource for traders learning about currencies and global markets.
Always keeping in mind the numero uno rule of trading:
The First Rule of Trading: Don’t blow up. Live to trade another day.
