Don't even try FX, lots of volatility on the market. Try S&P, FTSE, DJI/Wallstreet, DAX etc. Prepare to invest in something like [url="http://ransquawk.com"]http://ransquawk.com[/url], keep an eye on [url="http://www.marketwatch.com."]http://www.marketwatch.com.[/url]
As Alex said, any money invested in there consider it lost. Don't top it up, if lose big, take a deep breathe and walk away, don't top it up
When you're in profit, take the money, stand up and walk away, don't trade again that day, don't be greedy
Start here: [url="http://www.cityindex.co.uk"]http://www.cityindex.co.uk[/url]
Start reading so you can understand the market, why it happens, what's the events calendar etc.
Hope this helps, good luck.

Quite a lot of golden nuggets of good advice there. Yes, form your own views based on research. Don't give any more weight to opinion just because it comes from someone called an "analyst". Try to focus on something in an area/industry/business that you understand, if you can. Over time you will develop instinct - try to follow it (not as easy as it sounds).
