People do earn money trading Forex....... it took me three years before I could honestly say I can make money......
I think that what you will find is........ you need a simple system. you have to practise it for hundreds of hours. and then paper trade for weeks and weeks before using real money......
Perhaps check these two sites for systems
www.nqoos.com
www.dacharts.com
do not try to be too fancy. but learn fully any tools that you intend to use...
