I've traded various markets on and off for 20 years, I trade options during the day for a living. Also very risky but can be rewarding.

I learned a lot by the school of hard knocks, a lot (A LOT) of reading, a few classes and general common sense.
I'm mostly a technical trader.

Again it can be rewarding, don't dream about getting rich over night, but you can make a living at it.

Also by far the most stressfully thing I have ever done, and I've had a few stressfull positions in my career.

Many FX brokers offer free accounts, then with FX they have Micro accounts you can open with next to nothing. Trading real money teaches you quickly.

AGAIN VERY RISKY, and you must be very very serious about it.

I was always taught to respect my elders.
I don't have to respect too many people anymore.
