Very true, you have to be careful. Even if you do read the books it is risky.

You are right. Trading can be risky and it is not all easy gains. Markets can be difficult to understand for professionals as well as others. I am sure that is why there are so many books available. Good luck with everything.

My hubby has been doing FX for years, and yes, we had a hard time losing much money since the latest economic crisis, especially Aug-Sept. 2008. Until then it was pretty easy to make money from yen carry trade (buying AUD and earning difference of interest everyday). It's like we lost everything we've earned so far.

But we don't give up. :p
Nowadays I do CFD (actually FX is a part of CFD trading) and invest in Japanese stock market for swing trade, while my hubby keeps trading on FX. But don't worry we do not go for high leverage, and we actually spend much time studying. I was not interested in things like that until recently but since I played Cashflow202 board game that was invented by Robert Kiyosaki, I could not help but do something for making an income streaming other than paycheck.

I'm sure that some of those manga ones might have an English translation. For the more serious ones there are many good FX books in English already.

It is true that quite a few housewives have been encouraged to get into FX as a way to make some extra money, and that they have in particular been involved with carry trades on AUD and NZD. That interest rate differential looked attractive until the NZD and AUD both tanked during the latest economic crisis. Now the differential is not so great and the loss on swap is probably sitting about 20-30%.

Wow, I never thought about FX trading, but it makes sense.
Although nowadays it seems like more of a gamble than anything else.
