Last December, we ran a piece on FOREX, based on a LowEndBox thread.  We said:

The odds are stacked against the trader.

…and that is certainly true.  We had some more discussion of the hurdles in that piece, so if you want to know why FOREX is such a difficult game to play, go read it.

But some people are going to want to try their hand.  As long as you go into it “eyes wide open” and are not fooling yourself about the risks, there’s nothing wrong with taking your shot.  Be sure to educate yourself and use only capital you can afford to put at risk.

To get involved, you’ll need a platform (like Metatrader).  As we said last time:

You can run it at home, but speed is everything in the FOREX world, and you’ll quickly discover that network latency is your bottleneck.  So the next step is to put your Metatrader terminal in a datacenter on a VPS or dedicated server.

I listed a couple different options but recently we had a new advertiser come on board, so let’s put them on the table as well.

CheapForexVPS has a company name that warms our LowEnd hearts.  You can get started for as low as $10/month and this is a market they specialize in:
