I've just recently started forex trading. Anyone else out there trying it? I've been going at it for a couple of months - paper trading - and it looks pretty good to me. In fact, it's the first thing I've been enthusiastic about for years, so I'd like to share my experiences with TFPers everywhere.

Having been in business for thirty years, I dont think I'm naive. After all, with currency trading no-one's going to go bust on you, because you are always trading pairs of currencies, and if you're sensible, you just trade the big ones. And you can limit your risk really tightly. I like the facts that I can make my day’s earnings before breakfast and then devote the rest of the day to doing whatever I like, I work from home, I don’t require any staff, I’m my own boss, I don’t have to stock or sell a product, I don’t have to wait for payment, and I can do it all anywhere in the world as long as I can access the Internet.

There are other advantages for me, too. Training to be a forex trader is fast and relatively cheap, when compared with the costs of embarking on other careers. Once mastered, this form of trading creates a much higher-than-average lifetime earning potential, and it does not involve having to find a job.

So basically, it seems to me to be a bit of a dream job situation.

Feedback, please!
