Forex systems are on offer all over the place – you might already have received offers via email, web links or even direct mail hard copy. They promise the earth – but the reality is very different. The vast majority of them deliver very little and can end up losing you a lot of money. Even the best probably won't deliver on the extravagant claims made in the literature. But it is often tempting to think that some people are making a fortune on these investments – why not me? The brutal truth is that those who do make a massive killing are either extremely experienced and skilled or – more likely – running a dishonest scheme solely designed to deprive you of your money. Many people would say the best piece of advice is simply 'don't do it' but if you feel you really want to have a go make sure you read and follow all the advice and tips that are available and get yourself as informed and ready as possible for the venture.
