Faal, I agree with you but I would argue that success in Forex is about money management. I would say that success in Forex is more about risk management, which is broader concept and also includes money management. Would you agree?
Lioneld, you are right. I think that it is very dangerous thinking for a beginner. It is much better in the beginning to put your focus on improvement of your knowledge and skills, without any thinking of how to get rich fast.
I agree with Glenn. Unfortunately, there are marketing campaigns from some brokers which put in focus idea of getting extremely rich from forex. I think that this kind of commercials can be very dangerous for beginners as they are quite misleading.
I understand the point in comments from Lioneld and Tom, but could not totally agree on that. I think that demo should be free of charge for learning purpose, while real trading should be started with lowest amount possible. Brokers might provide some welcome bonus of $10 just for a start?
I think that this is too optimistic thinking. There is no way that Forex can solve issue of lost jobs. It might be the case for some people, but remember that it is needed several years of gaining experience and developing strategy until one can call himself a real trader.
I dont think that there is correct answer to this question. It all depends on traders strategy and defined targets. I prefer to evaluate my trades more on a weekly or monthly basis, than on a daily one.
Making a loss deal is not a big deal in trading. It happens all the time. However, if someone is making loss deals continuously, then such trader should go back to demo account until he or she figures out what they are doing wrong.
