Quoting Eur Usd
that's what I am talking about. I made a huge mistake. made a fool of myself. I had nice 8% of profit today (at3% of target) but I wanted more, so I made silly trades without s/l. why am I so silly
Able to gain 8% is pretty good start..
You just need to improve your trading strategy more and more..

since that time I lowered my expectations, from 3% a day to 1% a day, I also lowered leverage from 1:50 to 1:20, the less leverage the safer my account ;-)

1.5 year after first post in this thread and I am still nowhere. I keep trying, I have discipline to exit when trade loses but I force entries - forced entries end up badly. I need to stick to demo another few month. I tried on real cash recently and I still suck at it. So demo continues ;-)


Point is: I feel like a life loser. I have a family, wife, kid, mortgage for house, I'm in mid 30s and feel like loser. In financial way of course. We don't save money, we barely have any savings, I am in dead end job (I like it but it is still dead end job), I can't even afford to have a car. I feel I am dissapointing my family. I have few ideas but these are scratches. I feel like I am unemployable person. 10 years ago I had more prestige job (which I did hate and was dead end job as well) than I have now, and at the moment I feel unemployable. I am inteligent, smart, I learn quick but I know a bit of everythin and am not specialist in any field. I want to start something on my own, perfectly work from own house, be my own boss. Trading is one of my hopes, I also want to start my own business, have few ideas but these are just scratches.

Will stick to demo, for a while, maybe will succeed - I have to succeed.
