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.
