Hi Anacreon: While trading Forex can be like visiting the wild wild west of years gone by, there are a few good Forex brokers out there that justify one's business. Fortunately for me, I am one of the group of 5% (who really knows the exact number, certainly not me) that have managed to make a living day trading from home, US equities, and now for the last 3 years, trading solely Forex. I do wish you the best of success either trading or whatever journey you may pursue. Kind Regards, Harvey Gordon, NC_USA
