Yeah, this is not for me. Just got back my money by a miracle, I'm outa here, it's just a guessing game as far as I can tell.

See ya at the craps table for better odds.

I think many new traders who are just getting into trading start with forex because these days it just seems to be an easy option. I would say it is the most accessible of all the markets out there.

The spot forex brokers tempt new traders in with low opening balance requirements, high leverage, free charting, high liquidity, and the suggestion that it is easier to predict trends in currencies than stocks, commodities or bonds.

In my view, forex is no easier to trade than any other market, but for some reason it has the opposite reputation.
