    It's not that complicated.
    Forex on retail level is mostly speculation.
    The definition of investment ,- something that has value and produce cash flow.
    Thus, Fx, stands for speculation.

    But, from a practical side,

    you could try using TA and economical predictions for that matter, to turn few lots into ,,long term investment", say to protect your local currency Lira (for example), and then buying US dollars, (exchanging Liras to Dollars), but then, you have to be good at that.

    Yet, that wouldn't make too much sense, since, buying good companies, in stable countries like US/UK etc, at the right time & for a good price, would produce much better results, over the longer time like 5 or 10 years.

    If you're from Russia by any chance, the best returns will come from ,,evacuating'' into Finland, & starting a new life there, or, at least, staying/living there until life in Russia, gets back to normal.

    Forex Investment is an oxymoron. Retail forex trading is the equivalent of playing carnival games at the fair to win the cheap stuffed animal. You know the game is rigged, but people still play it. Just say no.

    Less rigged than stocks when you route through a reputable broker that offers direct access to deep liquidity pools. The fx market is way more liquid and has a multiple of daily turnover than the entire US equity market. The bad apples among brokers are what taints the image for many who are not knowledgeable about this asset class.

    Forex news and other stuffs are available on all major platforms however in stock trading it seems like we need an insider to trade that specific stock for profit or take loses.

    If you really want to invest in currencies with a more long-term view, you can invest in currency ETF's, and US dollar index instruments or by simply just buy and hold a certain quantity of one currency vs another. Another more indirect approach would be to invest in the stocks of companies that would be directly impacted by the currency movement of where the companies are situated.
