Hey everybody, I just thought I would write a thread that would maybe help some people before they do stupid things. First off, a little bit about me, for a long time now my life has just been a blur because of the garbage that life throws at you. I'm starting to get my stuff together now, which is amazing. I started trading when I was going through a really rough time, which was only about 6 months ago. If it werent for trading and meeting some people through forex factory I never would have had the drive to push myself through the harsh things about life. But with that, I want to tell EVERYONE something that needs to be heard. This is for beginners and experts alike, because everyone makes mistakes. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT start trading when your head isn't on right. I'm only 19 years old, and when I started trading I thought of it as an easy way out. I threw 2 grand out the window, because of mistakes I made while I was just looking for a way out of the life that I was in. And it just goes to show, 6 months later I am semi-successful in this market, because I've worked out problems and my head isn't full of the garbage that life gives you.
I dream, therefore I become.
