It’s nothing to work part time and be able to earn more then you presently earn working full time.

Initially at first glance the charts look the same as any stock chart, but you’ll quickly notice the momentum, and the volatility creating trading opportunities every minute. Trading the Forex has potential for higher earnings percentages than any other investment. This is because you are leveraging money. Leveraging ratios as high as 200:1 are available from some brokers. You won’t find that kind of ratio in the stock market, or real estate. The brokers don’t charge a commission although their making money on what is commonly referred to as the spread. This is the price difference between what you buy the currency pair for and what you can sell it back for. The spread is depicted in PIP’s, (Price Index Points). For every pip the currency pair moves you can make ten dollars trading one lot with a regular account. It’s not unusual for a currency pair to swing 30-50 pips in a very short period. A 50 pip swing with 1 regular lot traded yields $500.00.
