Lots of investors are deciding that forex trading software and using some kind of online forex trading platform are good ideas, but anyone interested in a forex currency trading system needs to go into the transacation with his or her eyes open. Face it, people, there are thousands of greedy, unscrupulous scam artists out there who have decided that the way to make money in the forex market is not through legitimate investments, but through selling bogus forex trading software or an overpriced online forex trading platform. And I'm not the only who thinks so. I found this article on the suburbanchicagonews.com website, and it made sense to me: "If you fall for this forex con artist's mishmash of half-truths and sewage, you're going to pay about $3,000 for the software and between $30 and $130 a month to hook into their data feed. I urge you to visit Commodities Futures Trading Commission Web site (a federal agency) and read what they have to say about the program you may hook into before it hooks into you. And I'll wager my first- and second-born that you'll feel like a fool if you do." The writer, Malcolm Berko, goes on to advise that newbies to forex investing sink their money into "more active alternative with greater profit potential are exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or currency shares, which are managed by Rydex Financial Services." So instead of buying bogus forex trading software, go with legit exchange-traded funds instead.
