Hi,
I do agree that making thousands, or even $10,000 is very possible in forex trading PROVIDED you have the capital and you are trading along with the trend.
Always remember that money management in forex trading is very VERY important! Trade only 1% to 5% of your margin account. So that if you loose a trade, you still have more capital to trade when opportunities arise.
When the market is trendy, you can get as many pips as you want. I'm not joking. I have achieved 900+ pips in a month before. Although other people or some students of mine have achieved more than me, but I'm satisfied with the profits.
Good luck In Your Trading
Regards,
Daniel S.
