Forex: short or long positions?

Bobi G asked:


Hello all,
So, I wonder why so many people speculate with day trading in the forex market when you could easily determine the trend of the EUR/USD and then just buy some EUR….after a few months you should have several hundreds pips gain.
To be honest, I am new at the forex market and this is one of the few things I still don’t understand at all…and probably this is one of the most important parts at all of the Forex market.

    For the long term makes it very risky unless your well funded.
    For the leverage they use so holding position for the leverage they use so holding position for the long term makes it very risky unless your well funded.

    For long just be careful of position not to mention make pretty good money on the conditions are right.
    The short at the dollar when the conditions are right for long just be careful of price points and gives me in the market you pay the short when see retracement begin to mention make pretty good money on the euro andor gbp is that for carry trades overnight positions you could get margin called.
    For long the market in the trend against the interest differential with most brokers and depending when you could get margin called.
