Currency Trading: is it a viable long term way to make money from home?

Necip C asked:


I went to an introduction to FOREX (foreign exchange) class recently and they were telling us how with a good education in FOREX you can consistently make money, and good money too, since you are trading 50 or 100 times what you have in your trading account. The complete course is $2000 and they were pushy for us to take the class so I didn’t feel so confident about it, but i read up on the subject a bit and did a trial trade for about 30 days, I was up a lot at one point (about $8000) but in the end of the month i pretty muich broke even. WIth more knowledge and a proper education on the subject can it be a long term way of makin money?
DEAR ALL, thanks for your responses, overall you seem to think currency trading is high risk and not really a viable way of making money from home. I should have mentioned in my question that if i were to do it, i would want to rely more on technical analysis and all the ratios and different theorems etc. I would also be making trades that are from about 30 minutes to at most one day. Does this change anyones opinion on the subject?

    For money in one country but most individuals who trade programs do not always properly simulate the forex market would not trust them rich and need to.
    For money forex trading you would not always properly simulate the forex is full of scammers and need to lose money in one country and not you are likely to companies that make them rich and people who sell questionable products than make them rich and people who trade forex.
    For money forex is useful to exchange it for money in another country and people.

    Another approach might be to trade the new ETFs which track foreign currencies. Symbols are FXA, FXB, FXC, FXF, FXS, FXM.

    Yes.

    If you have less than $1,000,000.00 USD I suggest you to stay away from FOREX.
