I started trading because it looked like easy and fast money and boy I was wrong, so wrong. But even tho I had my fails I still enjoy learning about forex. Hopefully I can make living sometime in the future using trading.
I had similar illusions when I was a total newbie. And then I learned several bitter lessons.

sounds good, i appreciate your learning process , but according to me, learning can be valueless until ensuring a regular practice session.

Very true! everyone join Forex in the hope of earning huge profits, but unfortunately not everyone is lucky enough to make money out of Forex.

Good point. Learning theory is absolutely necessary, but it's just one side of the coin. One also has to practice regularly.

Almost everyone has the same reason for entering into forex - PROFITS/MONEY! However it should be remembered that forex does not guarantee easy returns or consistent profits. For that you'll have to work your ass off so any unrealistic expectations you may have about forex it's better to get rid of them first and equip yourself with the right knowledge.

{quote} Then you're both lucky and smart, I lost quite a large account the first time around.
Then you hold a very good experience which might be very helpful for other new traders around you.
Especially this, "Learning theory is absolutely necessary, but it's just one side of the coin."

and for practice it is more appropriate to trade in a micro account instead of demo..

Eventually, I agree, but I do think there should be some period of total demo trading.

Yes, unfortunately, I can imagine how many people right now, rushing to Forex with same illusion. They never realize that those were experts who made money rapidly, sometimes, but not newbies at all. Those experts came from a long way to learn and acquire knowledge to trade better from time to time.
But it's okay, they will learn best from their losses. That's where we came from.

The only way to advance and develop is to learn from our mistakes, I agree.

You are right; there is nothing like guarantee in Forex; it’s all about probability.

I trade forex because I like winning and got tired of video games.
Put down 1600 in it 2 weeks ago.
Lost about 150, but I'm glad I'm still in it.
Hope my 1600 lasts me a year, but we'll see.
market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient
