I wasn't suggesting that it is ever easy. My observation is merely that if it is now even harder for experienced traders to make money, then its even harder for beginners. There is little free money left. This means that the length of time before breaking even is perhaps even longer than it was...

I have some knowledge of Saxon Financials. They are a reputable company and look after their grads well. However, as I daresay everyone is currently finding, its hard to become profitable as a junior. Not that this should put you off of course!
