Myself and many others. Basically anything else is better than Forex. Irrelevant of your education, background or anything - the Forex market is the most impossible to predict.

You can go to the Casino just as well - in the Casino it's black or red, in Forex it's rising or falling, every trade is a 50:50 chance and plain luck. In both you're "playing" as long till your broke again.

I agree with this man. Most of the people in the world don't have the level of aptitude to make money in this industry. They lose EVERYTHING. Don't even bother, I'm dead serious as well. U need a genesequa which very few possess.

The forex bizz is full of scam. Read this carefully, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forex_scam
There are traders who can make a living on it, but they are rare exceptions.
To start with, it's hard to find/develop a profitable strategy on the long term, and it's hard to find a trustful broker.
My advice: read and think carefully before you start, and forget the easy money thing

There IS no strategy in Forex, it's plain gambling.

A relative of mine is director general of one of the biggest  banks in our country (makes good 6 figures per year) and he said that his and many other banks have quit Forex trading generally cause everyone loses in the long-term, literally EVERYONE. The major banks have computers worth 5 million Euros fed with all the data relevant to predict the Forex trend, and even they're wrong more than 40 % of the time.

Especially as a private guy you're always behind with the information, if you'r not one of the guys sitting immedeately at the first hand information source you're gonna lose.

Also the whole process of the technical analysis is a joke, in Forex you can't make any predictions from the past, one hour later Obama burps and Merkel farts and everything is going upside down again.

The market moves randomly as I've said before, thats the beauty of it. All these homosexuals with their fundamental and technical trading and charts and candlesticks and Peter Bain that guy, all bullshit. Forex is a zero sum game cuz 1 person buys and another has to sell to offset, so at the end of the day if $1 is lost by you $1 is gained by someone else. Therefore, there's no such thing as EVERYONE losing, just the 99% who are dumbasses.

If u knew what worked you'd have withdrawals like this:

Then again, most of you are probably part of the 99% so dont even bother, u wont succeed in this market.

That $200,000 was 99 others losing $2,000 each. Thats how it works. Save your $2,000 dont be another victim. Go put it in a fixed deposit. You cant hang with the masters of this game.

You can make money in forex. Make sure that you stick to reputable broker...A broker that is a ECN would be your best choice.


Thinkorswim.com, MBtrading are good choices that ECN's, and you only need 400 dollars to get started...

Also Oanda.com in canada is very good and you only need a dollar to get started.  Someone who is interested in foreign exchange should stick to trading currency futures.  Futures firms are way more regulated than Forex firms.  The chances of being profitable are way better with futures, at the very least you don't have to worry about brokers cheating you.

Its u again. Listen u fuking idiot, dont give the guy bad advice. Its almost impossible to make money in forex unless you have a 150 IQ and really understand psychology. Most people even with a 120 IQ just dont get it. Just like in an IQ test its just a few answers that separate the 120 from the 150 from the 180. A guy with a 120 probably got most of the questions right, its just that genesequa as I said, that most dont have, just that special neuron in the brain that very few have. He'll lose his $400 eventually cuz if he did have the genesequa he would already be a millionaire and not posting a thread as this. Forex is more intricate than rocket science, u dont just "become" a rocket scientist. No offense to the OP.

I would honestly tell the OP to consider currency futures.. However, look at the new NFA report for Q4. retail forex for the first time have to report the percentage of their traders that are profitable.  The number are higher than i thought.  

These number are for Q3 in 2010

Broker   % of accounts that are profitable   Total Non-Discretionary Accounts

Alpari        25%   1,563
Forex.com        23%   11,344
FX Club        29%   4,245
FXCM                23%   15,023
FX Solutions   24%   6,587
GFT                33%   10,358
IBFX               28%   18,579
IG Markets        20%   464
MB Trading        24%   4,822
Oanda        51%   49,584
PFG               21%   2,098
Average      25.5%   8,291


So on average 1 out of every 4 is profitable..

Oanda.com another group of cocksuckers, fuking Michael Stumm and Ted Diogenous and their lawyer Sheldon Silverman shut my account down cuz I was making too much money. The lawyer called me and said I have 3 days to close my positions as my ccount is being shut down for unspecified reasons and to read the terms and conditions that says they're allowed to do that for any reason or no reason at all.

These brokers are ALL or at least mostly bucket shops, which means they take the opposite side of ur trade and if u lose they gain, and vice versa. There's so much manipulation, ever seen the oanda spread widening? I guess only if u make money these things will happen and you'll see all these "online market makers" for the bucket shops they really are. All just my opinion protected by freedom of speech, personal experiences only. Take it from someone who knows not the idiot above "225or7" whos talking from his ass.

You sound pretty cocky for whatever reason. I guess you consider yourself a "master" ;) I can introduce another "master" to you. This guy was the son of a huge bank director, studied 4 years in Vienna, 2 years in London and 2 years in Harvard, is married to the granddaughter of president Eisenhauer and was one of the most influental high-profile investmentbankers in the world running 4-6 Wall street investment companies. Now he sits in jail cause he lost 600 million Euros in Forex trading for Austrias biggest bank. You think this guy had no clue about the "intricacies" of the game? ;)

I would bet u just about anything the accounts with  a +ve are mostly relatives of the brokers' owners, the few higher ups staff etc etc ... aka people "in the know", or 1 of the rare geniuses but who gets their acc shut soon. Its the easiest market to manipulate, its all numbers u can very easily change stuff after the fact, they can cheat the govt so easily on taxes or hide and launder money and do all kinds of other stuff, and I think most probably do at least a few of what I mentioned. Again, just my opinion, dont need lawsuits. Oh I'm done discussing things with fools such as 225for7 who just dont get it, its pointless.  ::)

Get a clue son...oanda has reported 48 and 50 percent of there traders as the 3rd and 4th quarters...That's the best of US based forex firms...Oanda is a Market maker...Meaning they take the other side of your trade, and could benefit from not giving you the best price on trades.

i had an account with oanda.

i took 100 dollars (and with a few deposits up to $10,000), got it up to 80,000 by december.

by february of the following year (2 months later), i was down to 1000.

luckily i took out $35,000 and renovated our upstairs.

the only reason i did forex (as i knew it was a crapshoot the whole time) was because i didn't have $25,000 to maintain a daytrading account.

but as of september last year, i'm good to go in stocks again and just check up on my shitty oanda account once a month for shits and giggles.

stocks are much more "predictable" (using the term loosely), but forex is just crap.

for people without money to go into stocks, i'd recommend options or even trading the emini , if you really want to stare at a screen for 24 hours a day.

No amount of education could make sm1 understand trading psychology. He probably made a bit like most others then thought he was a master and eventually lost it all, just like what happens to most traders. He doesnt impress me 1 bit. Any guy with 1/2 a brain would not be fat, I was fat when young but once u understand body mechanics its very easy to lose weight efficiently. Muscle though, a lot is genetics.  :(

well yeah, i took my initial deposits out plus 25 k, so yeah i made money.  but without overleveraging , i see no realistic way of making a living in forex, and leverage / margin is 2 sided blade; the profits can be huge, but the drawdowns / losses can wipe you out in an instant.

All market makers take the other side of your trade...meaning of you buy 1 unit AUD/USd...The broker has the other side of the trade...Then when you place the trade, a broker has an incentive to not get you the best price cause he;s on the other side of the trade...


If you trade with an ECN, like MBTrading.com or currency...The broker doesn't get the other side of the trade...The trade goes directly to market

We'll congrats you did OK man...Most people that tried forex can't say that...Yes, it's very difficult to trade forex and be consistant with it...However, some traders do really well with forex....

Most traders don't understand leverage and if a single trade goes against them, they get killed.

My account would never get below a certain equity percentage, like 22%...Make sure to cut losses short..


BTW man bear pig there are lots of tricks you can use to still day-trade stocks with less than 25K in capital...

Yes, forex markets have a strong random walk, but you can't compare it with a casino game. It's only pure gambling without a decent strategy, based on real time data (Metatrader is a good platform for this). This means no bogus TA or commercial trading systems (why would someone sell you a strategy that works?).
+40% wrong trades? Should not be a problem when your average winning trade is higher; it's all relative. Profit Factor is a better metric, 'sum profits / abs(sum losses)'
Every year a forex competition is held (http://championship.mql5.com/2010/en), as you can see the results of the finalists differ strong from each other, for me a proof that the forex markets are not that 'random walk'.

You can make money no doubt. However, most people will lose..Look at George Soros. He made a billion on a single trade, and broke the bank of england.

We'll congrats you did OK man...Most people that tried forex can't say that...Yes, it's very difficult to trade forex and be consistant with it...However, some traders do really well with forex....

Most traders don't understand leverage and if a single trade goes against them, they get killed.

My account would never get below a certain equity percentage, like 22%...Make sure to cut losses short..

Here's about $300,000 of my forex profits resting in a bank account. Lets see ur proof.

I hope this ends all talk that my 6 figure watch collection is anything but 100% genuine.  >:(

Yeah in one fucking weekend, but his advantage was his large capital; the ones with big trades tend to dominate a market.

As a 'market rat' I'm more interested in consistent small profits.

i had an account with oanda.

i took 100 dollars (and with a few deposits up to $10,000), got it up to 80,000 by december.

by february of the following year (2 months later), i was down to 1000.

luckily i took out $35,000 and renovated our upstairs.

the only reason i did forex (as i knew it was a crapshoot the whole time) was because i didn't have $25,000 to maintain a daytrading account.

but as of september last year, i'm good to go in stocks again and just check up on my shitty oanda account once a month for shits and giggles.

stocks are much more "predictable" (using the term loosely), but forex is just crap.

for people without money to go into stocks, i'd recommend options or even trading the emini , if you really want to stare at a screen for 24 hours a day.



So you made 36k/yr trading currencies.  How much did you make trading stock futures?

Once the mound is ready the world needs to be done the favor of 225for70 burying himself alive head first in the sand.

I going to put my 2 cents in..since I've been at Forex for about 4 years. I agree that most people shouldn't even bother getting into this. Most all the advice on trading forums, books etc. won't help you. I lost large sums of money the first 3 years..Most people would have given up if they went through what I did. I finally found out ...by watching the market over 7 hours a day straight.. some Price action patterns that were extremely high probability setups. I made my own custom charts with real time indicators(not lagging shit) and learned to spot those few seconds a day where the market made a predictable move. I trade 10 standard lots..my targets are small 5 to 10 pips..my stops are 4 to 5 pips, and I have an extremely high hit rate. My trades only last between 5 seconds to 30seconds on average. I only go in when there is lots of momentum. I now have my emotions under control..so I don't freak over a small loss. I could never have done this without all the screen time I put in. And unless you have a decent account size, you can't make money off 10 pips a day. I'm trading $100 a pip so small gains work fine. I can now pay my living expenses from my trading profits. I have a DMA broker that gives flawless execution. Again, for most people I would never reccommend getting into this.

0, as i don't know enough about those to trade them in any meaningful way other than "buy/sell and hope".

i only trade equities now, i made about 35% in 5 months last year. i used to post my daily trades in real time on alex23's forum, just to show i'm not full of shit.  i can post a screenshot if you're really interested, but i'm not claiming an outlandish return.

probably would've been more if i got in earlier, but as i said, funds were limited (had a kid, and expecting another, had to stash money in an emergency medical fund, but have since recouped it).

Screenshot would be cool.  35%/5 mos is better than 32%/yr I got from my 401k (some small cap mutual fund) last year.
