If it makes you feel better, I lost $75,000 when I first started FX.
No, my first account was 1000$ + an additional 1000$ bonus from broker.
Went live after only 2 weeks of demo and picked me the beast (gj) to trade, not a good pair for beginners, ha ha. After 3 months acc. was burned down.
Second account i started little bit bigger and doing much better. doubled it after about 6 months and itīs growing slowly, but still donīt feel very confident in my decissions (i still think itīs more luck then my skills).
I often play the hit and run game from kill, save then sorry.
Iīm happy with 20-30 pips in average per day, 100-150 pips per week.
I will never reach 1500 pips per week
Have a nice (green) day
....makes u feel paranoid sometimes...
