I have been meaning to open a legitimate forex account for a few years now.... Stock trading is a little more of my specialty though, as I have been buying and selling stocks for over twenty years now....( it treats me well, so this is where my focus stays)
I think there is enough public information to trade forex successfully though too.... Either way Sir, spend time on it and I am sure it won't be too difficult for you.
Another reason to trade forex is the open schedule that market facilitates.... 24 hours a day, 5 days per week.... (w/ the stock market open about 1/4 of that time)
I would trade a few practice accounts first before going all in, and the best advice I would give.... take it slow....
(they also usually have a high minimum account balance, but the leverage is always good)(something like 200x, I believe)
Good Luck Mtre...
