Does anyone actually make money on Forex in 2026 or is it just a lottery?

Hey guys,

I’ve been lurking on the forum for a while but don’t post much. Decided to ask a real question.

It’s 2026 already, the market is moving, but everywhere you look there’s so much negativity about Forex. Everyone says 90-95% of traders lose their deposits, brokers are kitchens, the market is manipulated, big players and algos destroy retail, etc.

So, honest question: is anyone here actually making consistent money right now? Not some crazy +300% one-time luck, but steady 5-15% per month with proper risk management, month after month.

Or has everyone already switched to crypto, stocks, or PAMMs?

I have a bit of experience — tried it a couple years ago, blew two small accounts ($500–700 each) and quit. But now with inflation and stagnant salary, the thought came back again. Is there any real sense in trying Forex in 2026, or am I just about to step on the same rake again?

Would love to hear fresh stories from people who are still actively trading. What are you using — scalping, swing, full automation, or already running everything on neural networks/AI?

Please, no broker ads, signal channels or "join my group" stuff. Just real talk.

Thanks in advance!
