Forex Wannabe since 2006, Forex trader since January 2010. Real account, real emotion, real common sense. Trade the charts. Do not pay for an analyst's opinion (they do not trade, they just charge to do things that stroke their ego's, most are ten a penny). Learn from a trader with a live account to help plot a course. Listen to the charts; they are a lot less noisy than the headlines and the analysts. Demand to see a live account from any Guru charging for services. If they are profitable, why is their main business not trading....(The "I want to give something back" nonsense is so 2007, especially when they charge less than the spread on a standard lot, per month). You can trade Forex, you can make it,; just look at Acumen for example, read his posts, and learn. You can do this, the charting side of this is not hard, controlling emotion and setting out a plan is the key. Demand some education from your broker, and if they do not oblige, find one that does. We can all do this, if we stick to a plan.
