I am really sad in specialized forums in forex, why?
because all the "trading journal" I read ends the same way:
they end up losing all their gains and have their account to 0, after 6 months or 1 year.
I need testimonials from people who really live forex successfully for several years.

this guy is on the right track
the FX market is decentralized and in most cases rigged against you, as a retail trader you don't even have access to the main liquidity pools. The access you do have is to 'brokers' that in reality are taking the opposite position to you and have an inherent conflict of interest with you + some ECNs most of which are biased towards the needs of their main liquidity providers (last look provisions etc..)
with a futures exchange you've at least got more of a level playing field - sure your personal infrastructure may not compete with the banks, prop shops etc.. but your order is treated in the same way, according to the same rules on a public exchange that anyone can access

Futures/options are good, if you're already semi-well off. Then you can make a decent living with less management and exposure (still risky, but cost basis reduction by selling premium, and playing the odds, help with this). If you want any kind of reliable growth from anything smaller than a $125k account, you need to do indices/forex/CFDs with lots of leverage.

True to some extent, but you can't grow your account for shit unless you're already well off ($125k minimum for ameritrade, for example). A normal person can't start with futures/options and expect to really get anywhere this decade.
Only chumps outright own stock, in an active trading account.

same argument can apply to FX... but with the added hinderance that FX is more rigged against you

What kind of leverage do future contracts have where you trade?
Over here, index futures are leveraged by ~100x and foreign currency futures by ~200x.
Stocks are leveraged up to 14x.
