Always keep in mind that trading for fun and profit is a risky business. There are people that have even given up on their jobs to enter this market, only to go bankrupt. During the past few years, there really have not been any severe market reversals. So this period of time has been kind to most novice traders. However, there are absolutely no guarantees that things will remain the same in the coming next few years. As a matter of fact, days are becoming more and more chaotic and this can have a serious effect on the market. There is always a chance that you can sustain big losses in your Forex market trading. The U.S. Dollar’s value is constantly going down, losing its positions against the Euro every day. At the same time, the price of gold is increasing which will probably further lower the USD's position on the world market. But at the same time, the USA is on the verge of getting a new President, which could change the U.S’s politics, and then the Dollar could go back up again. So there are a lot of different factors involved, and it's hard to predict the effects any of them could have.

But what exactly is a Forex day trader supposed to do? The characteristic day in the life of a FX trader usually calls for between no trades and a few trades each day. The daytrader is searching to find trades where he can make fractional gains; on-quarter point, a half-point, or several points during each trade. And he will never be holding open positions at the end of the day – thus the term “day trading”. The objective of a day trader is to take advantage of price changes within a single trading period (one trading day). Unlike other types of traders, day traders will hold their positions for just a few minutes – sometimes for only seconds -- and will never hold them overnight.
