Its the best way to get poor quick
and your nearing retirement... its not something u casually get into, like hey I'm going to check it out.
its something very difficult it is more difficult than you can imagine.
If you are serious about this then go ahead use this forum it is a great learning tool. When u get up to speed on things and can navigate your way inside Metatrader 4, open a Mini account, not more than $300. See how long you can go before loosing all of your money.
nothing worth having ever comes easy in life.
