Generally, profits and losses are almost unlimited in the Forex market. Mostly, it depends on your risk appetite, your trading strategy, and your level of understanding. Start trading for a skill instead of a profit, and in time, the profits should come with the skill.
Same opinion from me! Yes, trading skill is very much important parameter here; without a proper trading skill the path is too much sticky.

Yes. Forex is profitable if you use it wisely. You need to be patient to educate yourself as first step with high degree of patience.
Think about everything in the logical way.
I threw back my PhD degree and work as full time in forex as strategies researcher, IB, coder, account management (sometimes)...
Lately, I coded my best ever EA which made to me 827% of profit in just 7 weeks.
It would be easier to believe that with real account statement here on mfb

Whatever it is; I don’t believe 100% success ratio in Forex! For me, it’s all about probabilities.

If you understand Price Action and Volume Spread Analysis, you may focus yourslef on profitable pattern everydays.
Don't use Moving average and others stuff like that, it will lead you to the wrong way.
Market itself everysingle day, learn how to read it , and you may be profitable.

Moving averages work only in trending market condition. Mostly, the market is not trending :)

Nope.
There are other way how to analyse market than only Price Action and Volume Spread Analysis

Yes you are right. There are others ways as well.
But to the question if Forex is profitable, I would answer yes for sure.
Are you profitable? If so could you please share your strategy? I have been struggling a bit recently. I have a good week to start but lots of losing trades now

Hello; this question depends on many parameters & you may notice; there have different types of scenarios in everywhere! But no doubt, learning is a long term process here.

I only use Price Action and VSA. ( Only volumes on the charts , no indicators )
I also use a CSM that I have made coded, to find quickly a good pair to trade.
I focus myself on clear pattern on London and New York open.
Most of my analysis are made on H1 Timeframe.
I only take a position when I understand what is going on.

Maybe you should start analysis with big timeframe.

Would you say that 1h time frame is too short? I thougt that would be considered a longer time frame. I thought that M15 or M5 were short and 1H and above were generally considered the longer time frames
I vote for 1H, and I try to make my decisions based on that. I also use shorter time frames for estimating entries and exits, longer for support & resistance level analysis. I never have been using 1M and hardly ever 5M profitably. I think the shortest time frames are too expensive for a retail trader who is using a market making broker.
I think 1H is just ok. One can trade both long term and short term with it.
