The Forex Industry – Uncut Version

the-forex-industry-uncut-version-website-large.jpg

This article might possibly shock you and make you question everything you've ever been told personally by a 'professional' trader, as well as potentially offend many (if not all) of the experienced forex traders. The purpose of this article is to 'expose' everyone in your life who's told you everything against this article.

I'm pretty sure that what initially inspired many people to pursue trading was all the hype that the media created regarding the simplicity and luxury that comes with being in this industry. Traders you personally know might have showed-off their new car or huge house in an attempt to 'encourage' you to begin trading. The truth is that all of that was a lie.

Now don't get me wrong, gradually you can have that new car or extravagant lifestyle but what everyone fails to mention is that it doesn't just present itself to you in a hand basket.
