i have experience with trade station, esignal and some other back testing solutions. I have an MBA and BA in industrial engineering. Strong analytical skills, but no institutionalized banking or trading experience. I work as a market research analyst. Any tips are highly appreciated!

Be careful, I have heard only bad things about. Why not stocks? I am learning too. I have bought and sold over 1 million in stocks and I am even (made a ton of money and lost it all) - only myself to blame, but I am learning every day. Buy GW Grey wolf [$7.24] and GE General Electric [33.30] @ July 9, 2006 ........ we will see!

There are always both sides in trading forex full-time. You make it or you don't. Get yourself prepared...just like any business...THERE ARE RISKS! You must be able to manage risk before going in. Anyway, even in employment there are also risk...to be retrenched. My advise...try it out on demo account for as long as it takes...then decide.

So do i , having no problem to trade-in FX market. Result shown to be alright on my demos (80%). There are banks/its integrated down here where u can trade direct. Only that i do not have insufficient fund to go on with it.
