Ignorance is really a disease. How can somebody come into a public forum and declare that forex trading is fraud. Forex is the live wire of the global economy.
@Op. That you do not know how to trade in forex is nobodys fault. What is not known or understood is often termed a mystrey. A person who has never driven a car before will tell you that driving is a difficult process if you just suddenly give him your car keys to you range rover, but give the same keys to an expert driver and watch his face light up.
Forex is as real as your right and left hand. What Nigerian traders suffer from is greed. Once the hear of Forex they think of over night success asking you how much they will make if they invest $100. That is a corrupt mindset. How much can that amout fetch you in an offline business? If you do not treat forex like you would your normal everyday business you will fail. The key to success in every endeavour is knowlegde FIRST. If you do not KNOW it, it will fail you.
Lastly people are making money from it steadily. That you got it wrong can not change that. Ask you bank MD for a start.
Cheers.

Many People, especially Nigeria have lost huge amount of money trading online forex

They have been made to believe that they can make money trading it but the reverse has been the case. You have to glue your eyes to your phone or computer waiting for the chart to move in your favour, studying senseless indicators and waiting for foolish news to come out before you can buy or sell. In the end it is not even sure if the trade will move in your favour while your heart keeps pounding. But Audu, a mallam who is also a forex trader in Ikeja but this time offline trader does not go through all the stress online traders are going through, but he make huge money. funny enough he is an illiterate.

if you want to trade online forex newly, and u ask a supposed self-styled online forex trader guru to train you, then u are in for loss already. he will demand huge sum of money, sell materials, robot and also trading pattern. At the end he/she will still tell you u have to develop your own pattern of trading. Always taking advantage of the new comers to recover all that they have lost in the online forex trading which valued to 2 trillion daily. Liars! to be continued.

You are very wrong bro. I know a few people who still make good money from forex. If you really want to make money from forex, get a good mentor. You must have good training. Not just to buy one ebook and start trading strategies. You must also be very patient cos only one day trade can pay u for the whole month (non farm payrole). If u don't do the right thing u will always lose trades.

I have always told people who care to listen that trying to becoming a millionaire overnight is equivalent to fraud or blood money.

While on earth do you want to deposit $50 and be anticipating in your heart and praying fire and thunder prayers for the trade to move in your direction so you can make $1,000.

Nigerians don't understand patience and discipline.

There is a saying that "whatsoever comes to you without any effort has a coma". Those of you complaining have never put in so much effort nor patient enough to learn the true act and art of being a successful forex trader.

Forex is not a quick get rich avenue. You only become successful by following strictly certain rules and being properly knowledgeable about forex.

Below i have outlined some important tips and tricks you can follow when you start trading on the Forex market:

1. “If you fail to plan you plan to fail”

A famous expression that every forex trader finds is very correct. Having a plan is your number one priority. Before you start trading it is important to define your goals and lay out a plan with the strategies you can use to reach those goals. Once you choose a strategy that fits your goals and trading plan you need to stick to it and let it play out. Changing you trading strategy abruptly can be very bad for your trades, especially if you are just beginning to explore the vast world of Forex trading.


2. “A calculated risk is a risk taken with full knowledge of the dangers involved.”

Forex trading is a risky business and all new investors need to learn how to make calculated risks – it’s what it is all about. Never put emotion before discipline and strategy. Emotional traders are the ones who risk the most on the Forex market. Before you place a trade you need to define your risk – never invest more than you are willing to risk. Begin with small sums and increase your portfolio by trading.

3. “Is a currency worth anything if no one wants it?”

Currencies are the most traded product on the Forex market. With the wide variety of pairs it is hard to choose which currency pairs to trade with. It is important you do your research and choose the currency pairs that most suit your trading strategy. Some currency pairs are steady but most are volatile and you need to follow their movements closely before making a trade.

4. “We shape our tools and then our tools shape us.”

Use the tools you are given in the trading platform to make better decisions and place better trades. The PROfit platform provides its users with real-time news of the Forex movements, various technical charts, analytical tools and much more. You can use the technical charts to try to forecast an asset’s future movements based on its previous ones. The real-time news provide you with current events worldwide that have an impact on the movement of the Forex market.

5. “The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.”

Record keeping is an essential habit every successful Forex trader develops. Keeping a diary of all your trades and used techniques will help you improve your trades based on the success and mistakes you’ve made in the past. Make sure your diary is thorough and with a simple layout to make it easier for you to read and analyse the information.

IF Thomas Edison was inpatient he would never have developed the electric light bulb after trying so many times.

Only those who understand that most times you have to fail many times to succeed actually succeed.

I DROP MY PEN.

Darwinex

FCA regulated (UK regulated), very tight spreads and commission, Metatrader, and they preach money management. (confirm from their youtube page)

Dukascopy

Swiss regulated, its the subsidiary of a swiss bank. You can open a swiss account with these guys for free. This account can be used to fund any other FX broker. Their platform is Jforex. their only downside is they dont use metatrader.

These two brokers are brokers are my personal choice. i've done my research on them. and i will use both of them when i get back into forex next year. I will open a swiss account with Dukascopy and transfer my funds to Darwinex.

There are other very good brokers but i have limited my suggestion to these two for several reasons.

For the advice part. FX is quite broad, i will suggest you ask me questions on its specific aspects. Trading, risk management, brokers, strategies etc. tongue
Re: Why Online Forex Trading Is A Fraud. My Findings by mcbuchino: 7:09pm On May 10, 2016
You all that thinks Forex is a scam should do your research well before you jump into conclusions.. before you invest with any broker make sure they are registered under the FCA thats if u want to trade with any broker from the uk.. i live in the uk and before i started to trade forex i made sure all the brokers i checked has a licence to trade..if at all u know the company is registered with the FCA then be rest assured that your money is secure and if anything goes wrong u going to get your money back.. also don't use demo account for 1-2 weeks thinking you are already a professional..learn for about 6 months minimum to know different strategies thats best for you, don't let people trick u into handing money over with the hope they will teach u cos they wont...also go online to learn personally yourself ...to me indicators aren't good cos most are lagging indicators .... get a better internet and not all those stupid multilinks or whatever they are called in naija.. having a slow internet can't help u at all... here is the link to check any broker in the UK thats registered under the FCA.. if u cant find your broker registered under them then bros you are on a long thing.. sharply carry ur money comot fast..

I'm a full time trader. I've been in this business for almost 10 years. There's nothing fraudulent about the business. Yes some so called 'Gurus' are very fraudulent. But every endeavour needs a lot of research, patience, discipline and focus before you can be successful. Forex is no different. You need to learn more and not try to make money the easy way.

For those who think you can never withdraw from your broker, check pictures below. One love to you all

You my friend are a gambler and not a trader yet. First rule of forex: Never enter a trade without a stop loss in place. Like the other guy said, 10% is quite high. Treat it as business.

Bro..10% is still relatively okay..With about $900 in my account while i trade with $100.I use scalping..I trade one Major currency mostly while i dont use stop-loss..I set my profit to about 20pips which closes whether am there to monitor it or not..I can get about 50pips daily or more at times when Market is good..With 900$ in my account i am good to go since i dont use Stop loss and its rare for the currency i trade in which is the USD/JPY to fall 900pips..Very rare and i dont think it has ever happened..The last time it fell about 500pips was during the major Earthquake that happened in Japan..

Am open to Advice's and criticisms please bring it on lets learn..

Folks start trading with $5000 or less and call themselves traders. When greed got the better part of them, they blame the system. It is not about making money in forex. It is about staying in the business long enough to be consistently profitable. One hit wonder doesn't count because they usually grow so confident that they give it all back.

If you don't have atleast $20,000 to trade with, go find a real job.

Most importantly, people do forget the amount ot time and energy needed to be a successful trader. Trading is more difficult than a lot of people will like to acknowledge. It is not a Get-Rich-Quick scheme. You have to treat it like a business and not like a walk into a casino. Oh! You don't have to trade forex. You can trade equities, commodities, etc.

Forex trade is certainly a legitimate trade n not a scam as posted by d ops who seem to have got his fingers burnt. D problem is a lot of persons think it's a get-rich-quick scheme or shot-cut to wealth. it is not.

Like every other worthwhile venture, it requires a period of at least one week comprehensive training n a minimum of 6 months of consistent demo-trading.
In addition, risk management is critical part of it. issues like take profit, stop loss, % of capital exposure on each trade, leverage, etc are treated.

Furthermore, in the psychology of traders, the twin human emotions of greed and fear vs patience and discipline are given adequate attention.

I got trained in 2009 and have friends, some of which are doctors who trade profitably.

Of course FX is a high risk venture, but so also is crude Oil exploration n production. Like all high risk business, d reward can be highly profitable if its inherent risks are properly understood n managed.

You are chronically ignorant so sop showcasing your ignorance.

You dont judge the legitimacy of a system by tthe approach of tthe participants.

The greed of Nigerian traders as a result of economic demands have urned Nigerians tto easy preys.

Many nairalanders have called me wanting to invest and the moment i tell them they should expect average of 10% monthly they back off because they expect more...then they go on to lose all their money and people like thatt start ranting about how dangerous fx trading is.

even in sport beting,those who make money stake reasonably by choosing one or two matches and stake wiselyy but a typical naija person will pack 10 games and foolishly believes he can forcast the outcome of 10 games...how dumb.


The ban on fx and sport betting by seun have made me conclude on his level of IQ and i advice him to leave that hole he is and get exposed.

Bill gate gave millions of dollars to develop the online fx biz and some banks in Nigeria are also doing the biz and these organizations are not dumb.

Nairaland is fast bcoming a joke and i will advice you to stop showcasing your shallow mindedness to a biZ you know nothing about.

Guy cause you lost money doesn't mean it's fraudulent

First, people think it's a get rich quick scheme which is not, it often ends in disappointment and frustration


Secondly your platform automatically grants you virtual money to boost your capital, so the profit you make is not really what you earned and the money you have is really not yours


Thirdly, if you wanna trade you need a super fast computer, 5g Internet and preferably a large screen * linking your laptop to your 40“ lcd TV helps


Most importantly, you can't be trading and be on NL and be streaming videos at the same time, instead *******
