I think we're being open, or we wouldn't still be here.
I like the idea of trading on the currency market, and I know that it is not some 'get rich quick' sceme. Like anything in life, you are going to have to work for it.
Right now, my work is making sure I have all my questions answered before I step into the water. So, some more questions:
1. What broker/dealer to do you use to trade? Do they have a monthly fee, or is the spread sufficient? How do you get money in/out? Is there a fee associated with moving your money in and out of your account?
2. Do you know of somewhere you can get a live or even delayed feed of data (Bid/Ask) without stripping it from a website? (RSS would be great!)
3. How much time, seriously, do you spend on this stream of income? I know you could execute all your trades in a couple hours in the morning, but do you spend the rest of the day thinking of your money and doing research?
