You can analyse the data all you like. Go for the lowest spreads, get the best margins etc. but you will still have problems. The best that the gurus will tell you is that the trend is your friend. But nobody knows if a trend will continue, or even if there is one a lot of the time. It is very hard to make money. 96% of people can not make a profit over 4 quarters. It is totally random.

There is such a component of the random in the Forex market that any degree of certainty is dangerous. The only constant is uncertainty.
