The Unease of Trading Forex


In theory anyone can be successful in anything they apply themselves to. But we all know that there are so many factors that throw a wrench into our idealistic thought process. Take for example a new company called eToro. I just read an article about this new entity on TechCrunch and there were a few alarm bells going off as I read it.

There are many who are trying to capitalize and make money in the Forex market with one gimmick or another. Many propose being your FX partner and almost guaranteeing you sucess with their magical invention. I reading the article above I came across the following:

"I spoke to eToro’s CEO, Johnathan Assia, who explained that the real challenge for eToro is finding ways to present Forex data in a simplified and user-friendly manner that makes it accessible to ordinary users."

The issue that I have is, it's not easy to trade, and no one should be led to believe that it is. There is a certain process (which differs from person to person) that everyone needs to go through. But read the article and come up with your conclusions - perhaps I'm out in left field.
