The short answer to this question is, yes anyone can become a Forex Trader but in reality there is a much longer answer. There are so many factors involved in determining if this is the right path for you. Is is a career you are looking for or a way to make money outside of your regular employment. Do you intend to do your own trading or hire a brokerage firm with traders who trade for you. Do you want to learn all the ins and outs or would you join a social trading network and mimic someone else’s trades?

There is also a difference between becoming a trader and becoming a successful trader. Anyone can become a trader but not everyone has what it takes to be successful. At this point we will assume that the question that is being asked is who can become a successful Forex Trader and we will examine the elements necessary for that to happen.
