Anyone Forex trade?

[mannika]

Just wondering if anyone here trades Forex. I was thinking of dabbling a bit when I go back to school in September for fun, and was wondering how difficult it would be to pick up. Is it something like poker where I can read a few books and then have a solid base?

Also, is the trading primarily technical or fundamental analysis based? I'm not a believer in technical analysis for equities, but my understanding is that in FX it can be useful.

Thanks.
