Oh I ate it big time when I started. Drained 50 percent of an account within a couple of months. But I didn't whine to regulators, I stopped trading and did what I needed to do to learn discipline. Ten years later, things are a little different. Funny how life works sometimes. I still miss the old days though.....dozens of legit brokers with kick ass platforms to choose from. Now I'm with an unregulated broker, which could be in the basement of a mafia crack house. Sure am glad the gov is looking out for me lol.

I don't remember what happened, but it was one of those runs that just went crazy. I just kept piling on lots and making bank. A brain damaged monkey could have made money that day.....

Hi all,

Not much going on with eur/usd for a couple days, but I am looking to see how todays end of UK trading session close goes 2 hours to go...I may look to go short at the end of todays session, if price remains within a 5 pip range of 1.23697 (current price). Looking for a potential retracement back down to support @ 1.23353 area....

Remember trading the eur usd, made 3000% return within a month. I wasn't that smart, the market was just too good. For those who say we shouldn't blame, we weren't blaming anyone. We were just acknowledging the fact that mr market has not being very generous these days.
When you see it, BET big.

Agreed. It's been a tough couple of months. I think we're in a turn around with the USD appreciating for a while. Problem is there is like a 500 pip zone where this is playing out. The pair could drop from here or hit 1.27 without even phasing the weekly chart. Not the best trading conditions, but it will result in a pretty solid run eventually.

I should probably tell you guys about the one time my daughter got my computer, she was about 5 I think. I was in the bathroom, and by the time I got back she had clicked the fancy red SELL icon at least 20 times, and these weren't mini lots.... Thank God for close-all scripts, a few pips in the wrong direction and I'd be living in a tent.

Needless to say, that was the last time I left my PC without locking it

Oh and yes, I blew more accounts than I care to remember during my first year. Not sure I would call that "good times", but it was quite educational

Yeah I have the same view, I m so bearish.waiting for a break in the pair. I think the move is cooking right now, that's why the market is so narrow.
