  I've been studying a few years longer than you, , so yes, guaranteed before I use any actual money, I will know the process inside and out.
  
  There are other traders here you might learn from. Mark is one, I hear (I'll have to check his hub out), and so is Iphigenia. She evidently actually turned a substantial profit...albeit on a demo account.

  Ask yourself who is losing, ask yourself how the forex businesses stay open. Every time you gain money, ask yourself where that money is coming from. Every time you lose money ask yourself who is gaining. Less money comes back out then goes in, like a slot machine, you can slap figures in front of me if you wish - but seems simple to me.

  Doesn't hurt me mate, makes me laugh. Take from that what you wish, heard it all before mate. Secret formulas, secret techiques, all the same crap. Forex is glorified gambling, its just a bookmakers for the middle classes. The ones getting richest on forex are the ones taking the bets. I prefer to buy real life shares in real life businesses, which pay real life dividends on the back of real life sales. Each to their own though, it's not like you are doing any better than me is it? You are boasting about having $2000. People in my country pay that per month in rent for a family home, so come back and show me when you have £2 million in your bank account and I will give you the time of day (and yes that is pounds). I guess that you are from the thitd world? My girlfriend spent more than that on a handbag; and she didn't need to gamble to pay for it.

  Yeah, maybe. You are only 20, so? The way you write DOES affect people's perception of you, and what you are trying to say, however. Especially on a writing site.
  
  But I have done enough reading to know that Forex isn't gambling or the rich man's way to burn shrimp--IF approached correctly. There are scams around all kinds of legitimate enterprises waiting for suckers and easy-money and status grabbers. (LOL, ie, and sorry, Ryan...I've never paid $200 for a handbag, . My several $70 ones do just fine.)
  
  After I finish reading the books I have, I'll continue with the demo account...and take it on from there. I'm not starving or anything, but I like the idea of trading for an hour or two with small pips for additional income I will further invest.

  Lita - take it from me - forex is gambling, pure and simple.
  It is not only gambling, it is highly leveraged gambling with an extremely high risk involved. In fact, so much risk - I guarantee you will lose whatever you "invest". An hour or two with small pips? Say bye bye to whatever you put in.
  
  You cannot play with small amounts of money in this game. It is a zero sum game and the boy with the biggest bank roll almost always wins. Read this to find out why you cannot win:
  
  http://hubpages.com/hub/Forex-Trading-a-guide
  
  You are the sucker if you use any sort of leverage - which you have to do if you are playing with small amounts. Forex is a game for the large institutional banks and you have been conned into thinking that is to exclude the "common person" LOL I am surprised at you.
  
  Seriously - you are better off at a blackjack table. At least you get a free drink.
  
  But hey - you might get lucky.

  I will read it, Mark. Like I say, I haven't done all the reading on Forex I would like, and I won't make a move until I'm satisfied I know what I'm doing and have studied the hell out of it. I'm like this with everything.
  
  So, I'm not sold yet.
  
  Thing is, "they" told me the same thing--I'd be murdered-- when I moved to NYC, and the same thing when I purchased land for an investment. And I wasn't killed pursuing either thing - instead, came out ahead. I was thinking 401k's were stupid a few years ago...then this economic crap happened, and guess what? What "they" told us didn't seem to be so right--what I thought back then seems to be the new vogue.
  
  I'm also, lol, more familiar with gambling than some would ever imagine, hahaha...No, I don't and would never gamble, but I know what it is and what it is not, and why. Call it an occupational hazard in the travel & tourism industry.
  
  Anyway, a friend of mine has an investment manager who evidently has made her $5,000 over the course of a few months in this economy. Some of my money will be sent over first for her to take care of...I will diversify.

  Leveraged small amounts in forex is gambling.
  
  Nothing more, nothing less.
  
  If you have the cash and are in for the long haul - that is different. Especially if you can sit on your dollars/yen/pounds until the market moves.
  
  I have made almost 60% return this year just switching pounds/euros/dollars - but I am stuck in dollars right now until the ECB forces the value of the Euro down. If I was leveraged and paying brokerage fees, I would be broke.
  
  Forex is for if you already have money. Don't let a fake account fool you. You do not make the same decisions when it is for real money. Trust me -= that is how the online poker rooms get you.
  
  When you stand the chance of losing your $10,000 - you will absolutely not make the same decision as when it is play money.
  
  You might get lucky - but that is what it would be. And you would be one of about 1%

  also, its not necessary to trade with 10000$ minimum, u can trade with 1000$ or 2000$ to be safe and can earn like 1000-2000$ per month, if u r good in forex.

Agreed, kkavya. I've read that, too. I'm a bit conservative with my $$, however...and by that I mean, I need a thorough understanding of whatever I'm doing before I approach it. Don't feel I'm there yet. From there on, the highs and lows and losing some $$...I'll consider it like maintaining a GPA, . lol The average, trending upwards is what counts.

Well, I'll say this: People can do a lot more than they think they can if they are willing to take just a little risk. This does not equal agreeing to scams and getting ripped off. Strange how everyone thinks that way...that they are gonna lose all their $ because somebody is taking advantage of them. Heck, the banks are taking advantage of people every day with excessive fees, stealing people blind.

What it comes down to is studying stuff, and looking outside the comfortable box, which can be a straight jacket.

lol I know...I wrote a hub on real estate investing, and of course you get the same attitude, given the market, blah, blah. The thing is, you don't know unless you get in and do it--and I don't think the world's current wealthiest people started out big.

Forex is a profitable way to earn an income, even with an account with $2000. I used to trade quite often but I can't spot trends as easily as a few years back. Since the "recession" I have been finding it hard to spot long term trends but it is easy to scalp the market on a daily chart.

kkavya is right by saying it can be a viable income source but I don't he's truthful about earning $500 per month. Reason, he has 2000 and trades over short periods of time. Even with ridiculous leverages he can't earn 500 per month, unless he started with 2000 and his account is loaded now.

If you consider trading stocks a "gamble," then forex is too. If you think stock trading is a good source of income, so is forex. You just need to learn and master it to be succesfull.

  Lets all be frank, IQ means squat if you do not have the correct information. If you base your decisions on false assumptions you will fail in whatever venture. You are making false and abritrary claims, you have been challenged and you are continually, through your stubborness, revealing yourself as a fraud. You are intelligent, I can see that but you are presenting yourself as someone you are not. I do not have experience as a trader. I have a general interest in economics and have done some broad and specific research on markets. Mark Knowles does have credentials. You do not. As I suggested earlier, if you admit what you do know know you might gain more. If you want to be truly wise, admit that there are some things you do not know that you do not know.

  I usually trades using my charts and weekly charts are saying that eur/usd can fall to 1.4066 or 1.3476 and then rise. So we have to wait according to weekly chart for this to happen.

There are so many factors affecting financial markets and charts do not always work. Do not get cocky or you will suffer.

  U don't knows about trading and still commenting like u r pro.
  
  I said so many times that 75% success ration is enough and for ur kind information, charts works 75% or more times with ease. Everybody is not great like mark knowles who can trade without charts.
  
  There are failures in chart but having stoploss can reduce impact of failure.
  
  Really, i knows how good i am and what r my limits and i am not saying i am the prefect one but not the worst one to say forex is gamble.

  Your IQ is what???
  
  On what information do you base your assumptions about my knowledge of trading? I know a hell of a lot more than you champ.
  
  I had some respect for you seeing as you are young and naive but don't go making rash comments about me, you don't know the first thing about me.
  
  I may not be an engineering student or whatever it is you do and I don't usually go around advertising my IQ but just for your information, its 160 and I am very well educated. The best lessons I have learnt are to keep my mouth shut and have respect. You've got two ears and one mouth, try using them in that proportion.
  
  The reasons Mark Knowles or anyone is a success with trading of any sort is not arbitrary, it is a result of patience and research and acceptance of the facts. Not statistics and book knowledge but subjective, qualitative research and intuition. The powerbrokers in finance will always win because they sell information, they create information. Try following the web of ownership through any of the companies you trade with. Try thinking about what you would do if all your stock was suddenly worth nothing. You might get by on luck for a while and you might even make some money but if you invest your time on trading on numbers and charts, at the end of it all, is your time well spent? If you are lucky enough to make any real money, big money then like many others before you, your head will inflate so much and you will then know that sick feeling of reality.

I played the forex game for awhile, they have alot of free information on how to play the forex market, very interesting and I did rather good , they give you a free practice account and had I taken more time with it I may have actually opened a real one, takes time and I would rather spend mine doing taxes and writing so, I rally dont have time for it , but , if you study and study hard I believe there is great opportunity to make decent money there, just dont jump into it blindly or you could lose all your money

Forex is similar to commodities...i.e. very volatile and can be affected by things which have no direct baring on the underlying asset itself (i.e. the stability of the currency, GDP etc.) I would be very carefull...it is much like playing craps in Vegas...best gamble in the casino, but still a gamble.

yes Forex is a good way to earn money, however you can win fast and also lose fast.

It takes discipline to cut off the losing trade when it is time to, even if it is hard to accept. And knowing when to take profit and not being greedy.

Forex is large financial and highly profitable market but it could be difficult when you do not have the correct skills. If you want to learn how to trade forex right, you will have to realize that there are three indubitable principles that are the key to being successful in the forex market. They are mindset, risk management and strategies.

Obviously forex trading is a nice way of making money online. Forex Trading is a lucrative way to make huge money, but a trader must be forex educated and he must be a disciplined trader, then he can make profit from forex market. I am also making money with UFx Bank.

The problem with forex is the market makers are as large as countries. It is like being at a poker table with players with a lot more money.

Sometimes the best you can do is just try to follow trends or play pivots or some other day trading scheme.

Forex by nature of its leverage is just a short term investment with less rationality than people think.

People can make some money but the fx market requires more experience than any other trading category.

I did try Forex for a while and it is really a mine field. You have scammer brokers around who can manipulate the charts and it is easy to lose. You really need a good system and stick to it. You need to to give a lot of time to it too. For education I would recommend Niall Fuller who does a great job in taking you through but you would need to pay a one off subscription but well worth it.

I eventually gave up after about 5 years studying it but I must confess i quite enjoyed it but came to the conclusion I could not give enough time to it in order to make substantial returns to make it worth it.
