I heard currency trading makes good money. Is that true or is it all a hype. Thank you!
Trading indicators are best used along with money management and good risk control, using trading indicators alone will not enable you to be a successful trader, even if you learn everything about currency trading the market is just too random and unless risk is controlled, over time your account will slowly get wiped out, regardless how good a “trader” you think you are.

Currency trading can certainly make good money, but still there is a lot of ‘hype’ involved. Most people who start trading end off losing all of their money. Most sites say that this is true for up to 95% of beginners. Mostly this is due to not understanding how to trade, not having a good system and/ or not applying proper money management.
So, the answer to your question is a PROPERLY prepared trader can make a consistent profit on the forex market. However the hype that ‘anyone trading forex will make a lot of money’ is not true! If you are not properly prepared you most certainly will end up losing your money, be careful.

Try and tell everybody here answered your questions. I don’t think they have experiences. They just talk over their heads.
Yes, you can make good money trading currency. You can also lose good money trading currency. If you really want to do this, plan on spending 6-18 months learning about how the game is played.
You can make money in the currency markets. But the volatility and leverage involved make it very risky.
the foreign exchange market is the largest financial market in the world and most people know very little about it. It functions in the trillions and it takes very sophisticated tools and training to do well in the market.
One trader I met once said that becoming a FX trader takes about 8 years of learning to become skilled. There are a handful of traders in the world that do this work very well.
A little know fact is that one automotive company (who shall remain nameless here) haven’t made money in selling cars since 1999 and have made all of their cash flow in FX trading.
People make money from forward and futures contracts. However, they usually have a tooooon of money to begin with, so small changes in exchange rates have a big total effect.
Small investors (as in most of America) would be taking a large risk by trying to guess the movement of currency depreciation/appreciation in order to make money.
Lots of people in Finance though specialize in currency trading and this is their primary job and make a butt load of money for their company and themselves.
it is a zero-sum game, and it is identical to gambling, unless you sift through thousands of articles a day and analyze their meaning to currency before everyone else can… then u will be at the mercy of the market, look into growth mutual funds if you want to make money(though not now) buy canadian dollars if you want, it will strengthen, u can just follow the rules, i bought USD when it was on par with CAD and made 20% on my investment quickly
