The truth is that beginners should work very hard as you say. This is business and to succeed in it, beginners need to change their thinking in that direction and this will enable them to get better results. Hard work is the first secret to survive in forex trading. As long as you work hard, you will succeed. and In my view, forex is a risky business worldwide so traders must learn properly before starting trading on a direct trade. I assume that the trader can give a minimum of 2 months as full time to get more knowledge about forex in demo trading. Happy trading
