To begin with, forex is not a platform, it is just a market and I have no idea how it is possible to say whether this or that market is good or bad. It just exists and if you know how to gain profits out of it, then go ahead and do it. As simple as that. Secondly, I wouldn't say that everyone is able to succeed in such an environment. Some people cannot do it just because of their own personal characteristic features. I mean that no all of the people are ready to resist that psychological pressure that occurs while trading forex. Such people should turn to investing, I feel, when the situation is calmer and not as dynamic as here. More than that, only a few people out of thousands are capable of having decent and consistent profits because of the fact that not all of the people are ready to devote huge amount of time and energy to learning and practising trading. This step is significant because all of the newbies who avoid learning fail on the market and lose all their money.
