What they all share in common is that they have lost a load of money. Why? the reason is uncomplicated, trading Forex requires perseverance, patience and skill. Most of the would be traders I've spoken to, have little of the above.

If on the other hand, you will be able to, then spend the time mastering exactly what it is about. Understand also, what it is not about. Here are some basic facts about Forex trading:

1. It is a large market and is primarily governed by large institutional players working for financial organizations.
2. No matter how sizeable you trade, you chicken feed compared to the big boys.
3. Currencies respond fast and sharply to news events, certainly the planned ones, like Interest rate, GDP, CPI etc, but can often also turn sharply when some unexpected news item hits the news. This is specially true when some central banker or politician is speaking.
4. If no special news, currencies tend to trade in ranges, and it is very important to find out what they are.
5. This is a highly leveraged industry, and leverage can work against you. Make sure you know how many Bucks per pip you are trading.
