I trade forex and it's not easy at all. First, you do need to have a system of rules and you need to stick to them. It's taken me years of trying different systems to find one that fits when I want to be looking at the computer and how much I am willing to risk. Now that I have what I want system-wise, it's just a matter of time before I can have a nice monthly income.

Oanda will let you trade for as little as a few dollars and most brokers have practice accounts.

Don't be afraid of it.
