I'm new to the world of forex and trading in general. I heard of forex before but never really knew how to trade until i saw the 4ex made easy infomercial at 2am earlier in the week (and happened to go to their workshop the next day out of curiousity). Based on the posts from some forums, its a bit more complicated than the workshop had presented it.
In any case, I'm curious to find out how much time it took people from starting from scratch to being able to feel comfortable to move past trading on miniaccounts? Did you work with a mentor or self-taught? Do you think that their are any particular traits or skills that would be pertinent to forex trading? For instance, my background is in engineering and I have an MBA so I can see myself as a technical trader.
