It can, but it probably won't. Since Forex has a big speculative element to it, you have to look at it from the probability point of view 😉

And it depends largely on your account balance and discipline.

as simple as it sounds, i have learn it, like only put risk about 0.50% of equity in one trade, calculate risk reward, trade once every day, leverage only 1:100 when not so needed, increase leverage when needed, and think about yearly growth not hourly/daily.
is that the only thing i needed in money management?

The first 2 points are enough. Most people can't even master those... it is a difference knowing in theory and actually doing it. Finally when you master it you can become profitable..Good luck and lots of patience!

Forex will make you rich if you are the broker.

For everyone else: discipline, money management and time will do it.

Ha, that’s a good way of putting it.
Sometimes these situations – the broker getting very rich off the back of investors and traders leads to very drastic and unfortunate situations. Last week a group of angry Chinese investors and traders actually invaded the offices of their broker and took hostages because they apparently lost a lot of money. (https://www.forexbrokerz.com/news/Upset-Chinese-investors-hold-hostage-USGFX-staff-in-Shanghai) So far it’s unclear whether the hostage crisis has ended.

If you are broker and the money keep flowing to your bank account,
it depends on the number of trader getting paid vs money incoming to broker pocket,
no money coming = pool getting dry... 😕
and that's where marketing/bonus/promo come in playing,
to get all the prawns trader come put their money to broker pockets... 😁

of course, this comment for entertaiment, so be chill... 😇

Only about 5% of traders are profitable.
Lets assume just 2-3% became rich.
So the answer is unfortunately there is 97% probability trading wont make you rich.
Unless you are exceptional or you have exceptional guru.

Honestly speaking, I have come into this market place for becoming rich but lost huge money within very short time. Actually Fx can’t you make risk until you have good discipline with most powerful analyzing trade knowledge

You might get lucky and build a nice nest egg in Forex, your odds might be better trading stocks if you have the patience.

Honestly speaking. Simply try to find even 20 people in the world, like you and I, who have made it rich in trading! You won't even find 50% of the amount.
