Hi Cyberkrish.

I am new to forex as well. And the reason I believe most investors shy away from the forex is...

1) misconceptions. Most believe it is a "fools game" with so much volatility that they'll lose their shirts in a day kind-of-thing.

2) new. The retail forex business for small investors is having only it's eighth birthday this year. A lot of people just don't know about it.

3) fear. Of the unknown.

4) effort. Most people do not wish to exert the effort it takes to learn something new.

Just my opinion.
