hi, i am a new member of this forum,and i can say,there IS money in forex...
you must learn alot about the rules and the psychologie of the markets,and more important than the best strategie is a proper risk and moneymanagement...and be able to control your emotions,when your money is in the market...
one of the best sites to begin and learn about forex is http://www.babypips.com/
there you can visit the school of forex and learn from basic to graduate.
and while you learn,open a demo account with a broker,its without risk and for free,you trade with virtual dollars.
there you can test your strategies,learn about the use of indikators,learn to read the charts and become the feeling for the markets.
dont invest more than you can afford to loose,and first try to become profitable with your demo account,before invest real money.
but always remember,that paper trading is easier to become profitable than trading with your own,real money,because of your psych.
some brokers,like avafx,offers bonus on your first deposit,so you can trade with more margin than you must invest...
