for making bucks? yea, i'd say forex is a good place if you only knew how to trade, else do not expect anything. Forex is not an easy business, you need to spend hours and hours in understanding the concept and trading so that you can get there one day.
according to me when you have the real knowledge and a strong commitment , it is possible to bring good amount of profit from any kind of platform, hope you got the message
which platform good or worst it depends on your personal approach , if you have a business mentality then without any problem you will bring good amount of profit from any place.
