The foreign-exchange market is often referred to as the Slaughterhouse where novice traders go to get â??chopped upâ?(tm). It is one of egos and money, where millions of dollars are won and lost every day and phones are routinely thrown across hectic trading desks. This palpable excitement has led to the explosion of the retail FX market, which has unfortunately spawned a new breed of authors and gurus more than happy to provide misleading and often downright fraudulent information by promising traders riches while making forex trading â??easyâ?(tm).

Well Iâ?(tm)ll let you in on a little secret: there is nothing easy about trading currencies. If you donâ?(tm)t believe me then stop by Warren Buffetâ?(tm)s office and ask him how he could lose [...]m betting on the dollar or ask George Soros why his short yen bets cost him [...]m not once but twice in 1994. Whatâ?(tm)s wrong with these guys, donâ?(tm)t they read FX books?  Â

In reality, the average clientâ?(tm)s trading approach combined with the unscrupulous practices of some brokers make spot FX trading more akin to the games found on the Vegas strip than to anything seen on Wall St. The FX market is littered with the remains of day traders and genius â??systems,â?(tm) and to survive in the long-run traders have to realize that they are playing a game where the cards are clearly stacked against them.
