Considering the highly reactive nature of the currency market, it means that you can quickly go from a good trade to a bad trade in just a few minutes. Trading currencies works with constant account balance peaks and troughs. You need to seriously consider how much you stand to lose if each trade doesn't work out the way you plan it to.

As long as your strategy is sound you will be fine, which is why you have to test your method.
