I'm gonna upvote you because you are right on the money, 2-3% is great return per month and there is a huge risk involved. There is a reason why I had the title include the word 'Investing' because I like to think of investing as 'set and forget' like a managed fund investment. I only allocate a very small amount to forex out of my investment portfolio eg 10%. I agree with everything in your comment, wished you posted earlier. Trading forex for beginners is practically suicide.
