Definitely .. and from what I can see those who preservere and learn to do this can reap really large rewards .. 20% growth is for the stock market, many people I know say that 20% or better per month is more normal for forex and some seem to make a lot more than that! I would assume that proportionately you make more when account size is smaller, as it grows, so does risk if you keep raising position sizes. For me, once I get my account to around $25k I would assume I could generate enough monthly money from that to live well and maintain the account at that level. Just me, but I would not want to have $100k or $200k or more under management in Forex, trading 10,20,30 lots at a time. Yikes
But who knows how I might feel about it in a couple of years Just hope I never get greedy.

Great! Do you have posted anyplace what methods you use? Also with which broker did you have your micro account and did you like them? What sort of returns did you get & how long trading?
