Doesn't it take up too much time?

Not if you organize the process correctly. Forex trading does not mean constantly staring at the screen. I work with my chosen forex broker through the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roboforex.webtrader&;hl=en app and set aside specific times for analysis. The rest of the day, I live a normal life. It's this balance that allows me to avoid burnout and stay interested.
