I've traded and owned firms in he past. I don't mean to burst your bubble, as I know that dreams are oftentimes all that we have. I write this out of concern for brothas considering the same. Forex, as well as other day trading investment products are analogous with gambling. I have seen countless investors (from the brightest and wealthiest) come in with excitement, but leave in disgust. Just like in Vegas, the house wins more often than not. There are professional gamblers / investors out there though, but they are few and far between. The average life of an account is 6 months in Forex (and Commodities in case you were wondering). Don't invest with anything that you can't afford to lose. Keep that in mind. Good luck.
