Hi Charles,
Welcome to T2W.
After the first two responses, I imagine you're hoping that someone will come along and tell you something that you want to hear. Something like 'with a mere $1,000 trading capital, you'll be making the same each month, easy peasy!'. Sorry bud, it just doesn't work like that. C_V and Lee are absolutely correct. If your business was doing well and you could afford to take out a chunk of money AND time without it affecting your business or your lifestyle (i.e. money and time that you can afford to lose), then that's the time to think about learning to trade. If you start trading now, I'm afraid it's a virtual certainty that a bad financial situation will get a whole lot worse. And a highly leveraged product like FX is especially dangerous in the hands of someone who doesn't have the requisite skills and experience to trade it. If you're absolutely adamant that you want to give trading a go, at least start with stocks which will help to limit (but NOT eradicate) the extent of the financial nightmare that is literally only a few clicks of a mouse away.
Tim.
