How much money can I make?
The amount of profit you can make depends on the size of your initial capital, the amount of work you are willing to put in, and your personal trading style, meaning how much risk you is willing to take. We strongly advise that all traders take the necessary time to do the proper preparation (demo trading ) in order to become consistent and successful traders.

Is there a risk?

Yes there is. The common rule of "high yield, high risk" is particularly prevalent. Trading with FOREX can be exceptionally profitable, but subject to risk and therefore it is advisable that risk capital should be used. It is important that you exercise good judgment during trading and manage your risk according to the principles we will teach.
