I have saved quite some money (equivalent to 10k$) and i am thinking about making it grow thru exchanging currencies. but I don't know how to start. I don't like to hire some brokers, I want to do it by myself, though I don't know how. I looked at banks but they have their own SELLING and BUYING rate. Where can I practice this? thanks

For practicing forex is same like stock market. You are expected to join as a member under a broker. You can trade after that. FOrex is an exciting business. It is full of activity.Learning and starting a career is also easy so are returns that are unmatched. Now before going in to currency market have it in mind that it is risky business.
