Like everything else it has a risk/reward element which in this case is very high on both sides of the coin.
You get out what you put in |
Actually it is 2 sided. In life everything is a double edge sword. The reason y forex is link to it being risky is because their position size.
1. Too big for a small capital.
2. Earn $100 per day. Provided you have a minimum capital of $10000
3. Scalp the market for a few pips but your stoploss is like 1000pips away.
4. Brokers fk up live feeds with inconsistent connection.
What about mortar and brick shop? The ROI is like like 2 to 5 years and your monthly overhead are high.
What about working for other people. Are you replaceable? You are nothing then a commodity in this globalization world where freelancer.com, fiverr.com and elance.com can easily replace you.
Toto and 4D in Singapore is a craze and its ROI is like in the hundrends thousands to one but every week people pour $50 to $100 into it.
Wall Street over publicize its rewards and risk and downfall. Overleverage is the downfall of many brokers and banks.
With the above myth do I still wanna trade forex for a living?
Hell yes if I take care of my downside my profits will take care by itself. Beside I want to take money from forex like cash from ATM and travel the world.
Right now working hard to accumulate my grubstake to at least $50 000 to quit my business and trade full time.
