do they make alot of money? about how much?

not a lot of education is required because forex brokers really are just networking representatives and make their business from gathering assets, not from their skills from an educational institution. I understand as a forex broker you can trade for others once you reach a level of experience, but i still feel the success comes from managing volume, not performance. There isn't a lot of regulation in this industry, which makes the risks a lot higher for everyone involved. And i haven't met anyone who has done well brokering for others who I would consider a "professional".

I think a criminal background is probably helpful.Oh yes and a nice web design is essential.
