1.) Should I invest in FOREX? Nope, is the short and simple answer? I invest in forex and several other professional people with education and training. However, the common people with their life savings, even if it is hardly some extra cash you could spare, why throw it away? The forex market is really volatile and complicated. It takes a sure amount of un emotion to make profit. You need to be capable to follow a plan, no gut instincts, no trend following, just abide by your plan. Some days you could take a loss of a few thousand and you need to be unemotional, this is extremely hard for most people.
I have a friend who has tried out with FOREX after hearing of my job. He only invested a $1000, which for him was nothing, yet every trade was like a stab in his side. He could not sleep with an open order; he would become frantic that he made the wrong decision and so forth. My friend is a college graduate, educated in investments in other markets, but can t tolerate the FOREX market.
2.) Is Forex a scam? No, but there are several out there who are. Go to the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) website (a government regulating agency) and review businesses. If you have a collection from a FOREX company but they are unlisted with the SEC, they are illegal or a scam. Also, the SEC will demonstrate you past violations, cash flows, and lots of other useful information.
3.) Is it possible to make income with FOREX? Sure, if you have acquired unemotional detachment from the money and will stick to your plan for a specified amount of time. It is very possible to make 50 ROI on a very conservative side, yet some people (mainly those without right training) lose their entire portfolio.
4.) Can I lose more than I put in? No, unless your site is a scam or has some unusual regulations. All respectable business firm give their customers a margin call formula, where if their account balances ever reaches zero, all trades will be shut down immediately and the remaining balance is left. Which means you can lose almost everything if you are not careful but never more than you initially invested.
