It’s fairly safe to make money with Forex, but you need a large investment. The rule of thumb is to only invest 1% of your funds at one time. So to make real money with it you need 10s of thousands, not a couple of hundred. Which is what most hobby people do, then invest too much and screw up.
Crowd information is the best way to make money, it’s all about timing, catch a swing too late you will get caught out. Go on tips, there are loads of forums and sites you can find this information.
Be prepared to lose, it’s a game of attrition, and you can do it, but you have to be a certain type of person to do it. It’s funny i wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, because i wouldn’t want that responsibility, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. Do your research, that’s the most important thing, my degree is in banking and finance, so i was doing it all through uni, start small and build, and be patient.
