You can get rich by trading anything, be it the FOREX, Stocks or Commodities. The only thing what u should do is to plan your trades and preparing some trading rules. Later strict implementation is required. Like what shall be your entry and exit levels, what is the margin level you will be using (according to your account size and risk taking capacity) I have seen investors trading without keeping uniformity on the lot size of there each trade. First trade they execute say 2 lots and if they loose on it then the next trade will come with 5 lots or bigger to recover the previous loss. If you gain on it then surely u are going on the wrong side as this may not happen every time. The next time if u loose I feel this will be the end of your trading account. I mean to say stick to the lot size u choose. If u trade four times a day then all the four times you should trade with 2 lots or 1 lot or what ever you decide maintaining the uniformity and the risk to reward ratio should be at least 1:3. As the trade comes in profits one must trail the stop loss to the entry levels.
