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.
