I’m staying in UAE (Dubai) and already working in Logistic Company and having enough income for my need, just trying to start additional income from online at Home.

Thank you for your kind assistance and help,

Answer
Jamil,

investing in FOREX is one of the most difficult and riskiest investments there is...

I do NOT recommend this activity for individual investors.

It is basically like gambling, and it is well documented that amateur investor provide easy money for the professionals.

Therefore, I cannot recommend any website or other info on this topic.

Best,

Steve
