Forex trading online! A waste of time and money?

Question:

I have been doing the Forex trading demo online and I am amazed at how easy it is to make a profit. My sister who studied economics claims that it is not possible to make a profit as a small trader in currency due to several different factors. Is this true? Or should I go ahead and gamble a little with some savings?

Answer:
Forex trading online is probably the most lucrative business in the world! It is however the most dangerous as well! Only 10% of Forex traders make money in this market (the other 90% lose)!! And that is because not everyone can have the DISCIPLINE it takes to trade by his/her rules. Once you've studied technical analysis and set yourself a certain edge to enter/exit a trade, you need to test that edge (system) on the demo account. Please don't start live trading until you have practiced the demo account for at least 2-3 months making profits CONSISTENTLY.. Money management is the most important issue here, small position sizing first (few lots), ALWAYS use a stop-loss order, and forget the word GAMBLING because if that's how you approach this business then you are destined to lose.
I think there is enough free educational stuff for the Forex on the internet to make you learn as much as you can before you engage into live trading.
I'm a Forex trader and I do make profits and a descent living out of it, but it took me a great deal of money (lost), psychological pressure, time and effort to learn this.

Wishing you the best of luck.
Be careful.

Really Forex trading is not a waste one. Trading of all kinds even at online or offline will not be a waste one if it is done with full effort & efficiency

As someone rightly pointed it - Forex is highly lucerative and equally dangerous. Now when you are saying that you found it easy, I am not sure how many trades you have placed and what is your risk to reward ratio. If you are happiny making 5-6 pips in each trade with risking 30 pips at a time, I guess you won't last long in the market. So, get more information before you start trading with live account.
