Very tough business.

Yes, you are right, trading is a very difficult business. It is very difficult to make a profit in this business. Without proper discipline and education, it is not possible to get good rewards from trading. You can't trade without patience. So it is not possible to trade without gathering knowledge.

@ElliotCooke exactly. I completely agree with you. Forex is difficult becoz it takes a long time to be skilled. Getting skilled is the difficult part. Once we know what we are doing, it becomes easier.

A zero sum market in complete essence.

Yes, you are absolutely right, but the bottom line is that forex is nevertheless a pretty big risk and you can very quickly lose everything you earned ... think about it. For me it is much more profitable and profitable to come up with some kind of business plan, open a company and start making money on it .. Nevertheless, there are also difficulties here. For me, one of the main difficulties has always been creating a bank account for my company. This requires certain knowledge in the field of finance, as well as experience.

There is nothing like tough or easy business. it just based on how you play with it. If your only motive is to earn profits then off course its a tough business because you cannot be in profit always. If your focus is on learning the key concepts testing your strategies and gaining experience then its slightly easier.

any kind of business or trading platform can be tough if there is no risk and money management.

For me; successful trading means making consistent result in a long
run! The return percentage doesn’t mean much; but again consistency is the key.

actually right now its very difficult to make sure 20% return according to trading balance due to US election. but whatever it is we the traders always try to bring profit minimum 5-10%.  

There are many advantages in trading forex. With merely internet connection and PC you can do the trading from your bed. From the Monday morning opening in Australia to the night close in New York, the forex market never rests. In forex trading, a little deposit you can start trading. Leverage gives the trader the capacity to trade with small amount.

It is not as easy as it seems and it does take some practice and learning. No one can be a forex trader in a day right.

This market is too much volatile and there is nobody who can predict the real faction of this market with certainly , that’s why for keeping survive in here we the traders have to depend on our trading strategies that we select according to our trading experience. First of all we traders have to ensure real money managing plan if we get maximal result by our trading strategies.

knowledge and experience needed i agree with you , but it can be valueless if you dont have regular practice  , so besides acquiring good knowledge its more appropriate to emphasis on practice session. 

To do forex trading, first you have to give time for learning. It's a professional work that requires specific knowledge and skills. Once you have necessary skilled, you can do it just by spending one or two hours per day. But for learning you have to put your efforts and dedication. One more thing learning doesn't happen in one or two months. You have to spend good amount of time depending on your level of understanding and other factors.

nothing comes free or easy. if it would have been easy then every human being would have started trading.

Infact, what I do is, I keep a track of all my trading strategies while trading through fxview and FXTM. So in situations of losses, with the help of my journal on myfxbook, I try to figure out why my strategy didn't work and then I do the changes accordingly. These things help in a better learning of the trading market, increasing the chances of profits.

How is fxtm in term of trading conditions?
