Achievable Goals

And a risky business. You're much more likely to lose on Forex than on any other investment.

hey james,
isn't risk all around us (not just in FX trading)?

I agree with most of your points, but 4 could be the quickest way to start a war.

Why is that ?

Mixing business with pleasure, you have no idea what someone's expectations will be, are you in for the long haul, are they, will they blame you if they loose money, maybe not to your face, but I bet someone will be thinking I wish I never heard of that bas$%$% with that damn forex thing, and so on.........

Thanks for the answer

You are welcome, I have extensive project management experience, and managing people and their expectations can be more than half the project managers role, like being a teacher at kindergarten at times, the most apparently sensible and mature can suddenly turn into babies and throw all their toys out of the pram.

Just stumbled across this thread.In one of your posts billflet you say "some people demo trade for years learning to trade well".Thats me in a nutshell,i can trade loads of different systems that i have backtested over years of historic data and nearly 100% sure i can make money over time on my demo account.But thats it i have no plan how to put what ive learnt into practice.However your first post might just have given me the kick up the a__e i need.Thanks!
