Theoretical knowledge, practical experience, small deposits, growing accounts, and a pocket full of money (being a bit lucky).

Joining a funded program seems quite interesting because to get funding you have to go through the eligibility testing stages as a trader, I've never tried it, but I'm wondering about joining this program apart from skills, are there registration fees and other fees?

Forex trading, or foreign exchange trading involves buying and selling currencies with the aim of making a profit from changes in exchange rates It's one of the largest and most liquid financial markets in the world
The liquidity of the forex market is reportedly the largest compared to other markets, amounting to more than 6 trillion USD daily. Compared with the stock market, it is analogous to a dwarf and a giant. However, now the crypto market has also increased recently providing alternative investment opportunities.

Yes, Forex trading can be really exciting, especially with the potential for high profits. Funded programs sound like a great way for skilled traders to get the capital they need. Just make sure you’re ready for the evaluation and rules they set. Good luck to everyone getting into this!

We wish us all good luck, however, even though forex provides unlimited profit opportunities, forex trading is also a high-risk investment, or high-risk and high-gain business, requiring a process that may take a long time to achieve investment goals.

Thanks to that market remains predictable. They are forced to operate under constraints (risk/reward targets, government limitations, speed of making decisions) which creates inefficiencies. But gaining knowledge about that may take years.
