Please, is trading forex really this profitable

Hi diallist

But what time frame are money managers trading, how much attention do they afford one account, what are the risk profiles of their customers? I don't think you can compare fund management returns to returns from intraday speculation by the private individual, the percentage success rate is vastly different for a reason.

As Nat said, 80% of this game is psychology, but yes, your projected annual profit is feasible, some traders here actually trade for a living not a hobby!
