I have done some research on this, and I have seen both positive and negative reviews. I understand all products and services have their issues or what not, but I would like to see responses from people that have actually tried it or are currently working with it. I don’t care about your opinion based on what you have heard or read, but personal experience. Any information is appreciated. Thanks…
IF I decide to do this, I don’t plan on doing this full time, even if I am successful at it. I will keep my job.
Has anyone tried or is working with Forex?

It’s hard to get truthful advice on Yahoo answers. You will find many people on this site that claim they made a lot of money using Forex. They are usually liars trying to make money. They will say things like: “Go to Forexcrap . com/index.ncre?gid=3371.” The “index.ncre?gid=3371″ is a signal to the Forexcrap site that you are being referred to them by “index.ncre?gid=3371.” If they sell something to you, “index.ncre?gid=3371″ gets a kickback. These coded signals can be hidden by different methods in the link. Other people will refer you to their own private website or blog for the purpose of trying to get money off you. Also there are a good number of trolls out there that like to pretend they are successful forex traders just for the fun of it.

Hi,
I myself havent tried the foreign exchange trading but it is very lucrative.
If you have enough knowledge of stock trading and have gone through forex courses then you can try getting into the forex market.
Obviously you should have cash lying around for the same

If you are a beginner, i suggest you to use Marketiva, which is a very good platform to start trading on Forex with and very easy to use.
There you can learn and practise and you will understand more how forex works.
Marketiva gives you 5$ real to start trading so you don’t have to deposit and if you made profit from it you can cash out, this is why it’s very good for beginners. Their platform is very easy to use and they have support during trading hours.
To open your account please visit http://www.marketiva.com/index.ncre?gid=3371

This is a little different from “retail forex”, but I traded foreign currency futures and options-on-futures — CME listed ones — and it was very successful, on the net. This trading was based on academic foreign exchange models (an academic interest of mine at the time) that later became indecisive, after which I stopped this and moved on to other things. It was quite risky at times, and while some trades were very profitable, others had large losses — I would not recommend it for most people.
I would be very reluctant to use “retail forex” brokers as these aren’t an open, independent market; with “retail forex”, you only trade against your broker. That means that your broker always is taking on your opposite positions (whether or not they’re hedging, etc. is another issue). CME is an open market, where you trade with other traders, etc., but it’s futures or options-on-futures, which makes things a little more complicated. As with all forex trading, generally you’re quite leveraged, too, which means things can go very wrong for you really quickly, so whatever you do please be careful. The odds are against any new trader, no matter what market they’re trading.
I think it’s possible to open more of a “true” foreign exchange (NOT “retail forex”) account where you’re much closer to reality (trading with the interbank desks), but I think the lowest minimum I’ve seen for this is $2 million to start the account.

The “problem” with Forex is that the “potential” for substantial profits very often clouds an individuals common sense.
I have experienced this myself. Attempting to maximize profits tends to entice one into accepting increased risk. This usually results in increased losses … unless one has extensive experience and excellent discipline.
The best advice I can give is to keep your expectations low and your risk management discipline high.
I have enjoyed much better success with a goal of 10% per month than getting caught up in all the inflated nonsense you see running rampant on the net.
Good luck with your trading and remember …
“slow and steady wins the race”.

Hi,
I was in the exact same position as you, I heard good and bad things about the forex market. After some searching I found this site http://www.bestforex.co.uk and read up on what forex is etc. I opened a practice account so there was no risk to me, when I got comfortable I changed to a real account and am now making a small but good profit.
So yeah, check out the site and see if it helps.

Here is an honest answer for you
I cannot stop trading forex now.
Some times I win some times i lose it is almost like gampling. for example a few days a go i opened a deal on EUR/USD and it was going down And i thought it will keep going down so I opened a deal of 200$ and earned in one hour 300$. But i did not closed the deal thinking it will keep moving down. GREED
but a few hours later it changed direction and start to move up fast, But i did not act waiting for it to change direction a gain. now I lost all the 500$ which mean a net loss of 200$. and the EUR/USD in in the highest level since oct 2008.
You can make money but you must know when to start and when to stop.

I start working full time at home last year because of my family member’s health problem so I started on forex among many things. I’m not making a lot to be able to show off but I do make enough to pay many of my family expenses. I’m not very ambitious so I’m trading with low risk.

If you are going to trade the forex by hand, in other words without and expert advisor or robot, you will have a to be studying charts technicals, graphs and other information on a consistent basis. It in fact is very time intense doing that technical analysis. On top of that, the basis for your examining all of this data is your methodology or system to make a profit in the market. The creative flash of genius that gives you a way to extract profit out of the market is the key. Without that, as your foundation, what is your analysis based on? It could be that you do have a tactic though, that you have read or bought somewhere, even then doing the calculations can be daunting.

If you are in a job with not much scope for advancing your career any further, you should be looking at forex trading as a viable option to increase your source of income. High liquidity and the possibility of making speedy transactions make forex trading attractive for people who have an inclination towards business. Earlier forex trading was the preserve of big companies and corporations with enormous capital and experience in forex trading. But now the situation is different. Individuals with capital as small as $25 could open a mini forex account and do forex trading.
