According to Business Week one must be a "Vice-President of Finance, Accountant, Financial Controller or a Financial Analyst" to become a Forex Trader. What a joke!!!
A Vice-President of finance to leave his job for $104k per year? Hard to believe. An accountant trading? Sure losses to come.
Only thing you need is $300 - 500 to open an account and a coin to flip to decide to go long or short.
