Forex: short or long positions?

Bobi G asked:


Hello all,
So, I wonder why so many people speculate with day trading in the forex market when you could easily determine the trend of the EUR/USD and then just buy some EUR….after a few months you should have several hundreds pips gain.
To be honest, I am new at the forex market and this is one of the few things I still don’t understand at all…and probably this is one of the most important parts at all of the Forex market.

    I don’t trade the forex market, but I can tell you that if you are any good at seeing a trend in any kind of market you can make lots of money…..but remember, it is very easy to look at a chart and see what has happened in the past………but it is very hard to predict the future, which is what everyone that is trading is trying to do. if you think it is easy, you are in for a quick education on how hard it is. if it was easy everyone would be rich.
