Contrary to many comments on here...I did not start this thread because I was angry or bitter or any else like that. Like I said in my opening post, I did leave with a profit, so there was nothing to be bitter about!!.. I simply packed it in, while I was ahead, because I believed that Retail Forex was created as a source of easy revenue for the brokers and eventually, system sellers.
I've been an entrepreneur for 35 years , so keeping an eye out for opportunities is a way of life for me. At the time Retail Forex appeared to be another potential source of revenue that should be looked into. At first glance it appeared promising, which is why I opened an account and started trading. Afterall...when opportunity knocks on the door....you have to open that door, if you want to know what's behind it. Like any endeavour you take on....you must be willing to put in the time and the effort if you want to reap the rewards. As part of the plan, there must also be, a reasonable expectation for profit, after a reasonable amount of time.....otherwise your just wasting your time, in my opinion. I couldn't find any of those attributes in Retail Forex....so along with my beliefs about the brokers, was the reason I packed it in.
Why am I here , in a forex forum...talking like this ?
I wanted to check out what was happening again, at Forex Factory, and possibly open an account again, but decided against it. So while I was here, why not start a thread....who knows...maybe I missed something the last 4 years, and besides...I do like conversation , different opnions and adversity !
