Im glad more people are becoming more exposed to the Fx market! I would most definitely advocate this over the stock market and you can also start with a lot less capital.
What broker are you using? Is it a ECN account? I would advice the lowest spreads as possible even if you paying for commissions.
Not a bad week for only week 1!
Are you live or demo?
