Experiencing the forex market with a practice account, I started to see the validity to many of the claims I heard over the years.
Trading long or short was simple, with the same amount of risk, in contrast to shorting stocks where you need to follow certain restrictions. I was able to get out of forex trades going in the wrong direction and reverse my position immediately, and often recoup my losses quickly.
Another great advantage with forex trading is that you dont need to worry about day trading rules you can trade in and out of a position as much as you want, scalping for small profits 24 hours a day, and you can start with as little as $100 with some forex brokers. (You should probably start with at least $200 though, this is the minimum you need to allow you to make mistakes without getting wiped out completely.)
