Truly understand Forex may be as tough as understanding world economy. But 'playing' forex is NOT any tougher than any number game. I have stopped forex for a couple of years now, recently I got some spare time ( Happy Raya Merdeka Day to fellow Malaysian !) so I re-learn and start to play again in 15 minutes, perhaps you can try too.

Ok, the last statement is a lie. But there are 'teachers' collecting $3,000++ for a course just like this thao.
All that 'proves' is that Moving Average with those particular parameters can earn me a hundred or two bucks from 30th to 31st August 2011. It implies almost nothing at all how it can preform before and after that.
Important but boring notes
- I choose Oanda because almost 48% of its users are earning while others only have 20-30% success rate. Oanda is also having the largest users base.
- Investing with real money in Forex is the beginning of the end even for some billionaires. It is almost a Guarantee place to die if you don't truly understand forex yet. So play it like a game all you want, but never ever invest in Forex just because this blog makes it seems so simple.
- The true message MalPF wants to share is that you must use EA if you truly serious want to invest in Forex.
- Can't even get passed signing up, download and login with Oanda ? Just click the LIVE HELP button on their web page, someone will chat and help you.
- You are still clueless how to 'play' forex ? Good, you shouldn't then.
