When the market crashed in '08, I traded forex. I actually over traded it. I found that I could make money easy enough, but I would try to force trades and couldn't hold on to the gains.
I did study charts about 15-16 hours a day while trading, and learned to recognize a lot of different setups. It taught me a great deal.
