thanks ya'll, i appreciate the input. i have been running a demo for about 7 months now and i am doin pretty well with it. i am about to fund my first live account so i can get some experience when emotions are active with proper money. which leads me to another question, how do i go about tax payment, i am in the uk right now, and not quite sure how the tax system works over here and what i need to do so i don't get charged with tax evading. I would assume that it would work just the same as working for yourself, but i could be completely wrong.

My first newbie post

From what little I have read, Forex is Zero Sum which means for people to make money a lot of other people have to lose money .....

Is it really possible for a lone trader to actually make a living .... when competing against huge banks and financial institutions with massive capital and armies of phd graduates and cray computers ??

Seems there are countless "systems" out there which promise easy money ..... are they just bogus get-rich-quick scams ??

This all just seems to be glamorised gambling ..... Please pardon my ignorance !!
