I have been successfully trading the fx market for a decade.
FX has been very good to me but I have also put in enough time that I could have mastered or done a second degree.

RockyM I think we started talking about it a while ago via pm?
I'm happy to help where I can. Disclaimer, you really have to keep it in front of me or I won't prioritize it and won't respond Etc.
There are guys out there that do well with it but you won't know it because they don't talk about it. I hosted a little conference and had a few guys from England, chech republic, and Singapore come to Perth. Trust me there are guys out there that kill it.
My advise would be this.
1- have realistic goals based on % returns not dollar return.
2- patience
3- find a practice that suits you ie day trading vs swing trading.
4- stick with a plan long enough to see how well it works. Most people will give up ii thin the first year. One year is not long enough to know what you are doing. It took me 4 years of working on it every single day before I consistently made money and felt like I was controlling the market and not the other way around.
It's as much a mind game as it is anything.
If you ever get to the stage of trading decent volume, come talk to me and I'll give you a real education on how broker houses really work. The kind of stuff you don't find in books. They are dodgy!
