{quote} If money is the only thing that counts why bother thanking God for anything?
Money is the only thing that counts in this world true but you still have to thank God for giving us Forex Trading to allow us to make money in the first place and also to be alive to do Forex Trading. No matter how much money you have, if God wants you dead, you will pretty much be dead. LOL

I don't think Forex came from god...more likely the other one

My wife hated trading so much. I lost so much and almost lost her. I just about took trading over her. This would have been a huge mistake. Things got bad. I was trading when she wasn't looking and lying about it. I was caught a few times when I thought I was being secretive. It almost felt like I had a porn problem and getting caught in the act. I think she would have liked me being addicted to porn instead! Eventually I stopped trading entirely for about a year. I would still think about it and strategies but I did uninstall all my charts. I gradually...
One thing though: If your significant other is not on board to support you, forget about forex trading. It requires 10000% of your concentration and you won't have the time and energy to fight with someone who's nagging you 24/7 and giving you stress on top of the tremendous stress that you face in forex trading.

When your significant other doesn't support you, you basically have two choices: 1) Stop trading or 2) Find another significant other.

I am glad you finally made it and still have your marriage intact.

Why do I trade? Is it to be rich? Do I trade as a hobby? Do I love it? do I hate it? These questions I've asked myself now for over 11 years. Forex trading has been an expensive venture for me. Back in my first 2 years of trading I lost $30k. I almost went bankrupt because I was naive and greedy. I now have been profitable for over 15 months. Is forex trading harmful? I've seen a countless amount of people lose everything and more trading. Why do we put ourselves threw all of this just for a chance at the profitable 5% club? What are your dreams...
I came to FF and instantly catch on your thread. Thanks for detailed story and your experience. It almost answer your own question, is it worth?
Because your response indicates that damn is!
I have long been trading but as you often ask myself the same question.
Cheers

{quote} Ming brings a little flavor to the place, that's for sure! As far as the market goes, it is not hard to buy dips in a rising market, sell rallies in a falling one, and fade the tops and bottoms of ranges. What I know about the market is that I don't know where price is going to go but I do know how to manage my risk. Trading is about managing risk. So you are most definitely not a dick, as your questions give me the opportunity to provide an accurate answer about what I know about the markets and what to do about it. Trade well! {quote}...

I am quite sure that you are not the only one who noticed that. Very often it is all about what you don't say as much as what you do say.

That is why Ming is funny, and quite harmless. He just hasn't been able to make it work and his maturity level causes him to lash out.

Actually (and i might be wrong here) but i think he lashes out when he sees members of tye forum who obviously dont know their ass from their elbow using other such members as leverage to stand on so as to be taller... But with no real proof but the usual BS and politics.

tbh i have more time for him than the "taller" ones, but thats just me.

The intellect is infurieated on this website because even social cause runs in heards. I could go on, bit thats my guess.. J

It never hurts to be humble before God and give Him credit for everything cuz you never know what can happen when you are not. One thing that Forex Trading has taught me is to NEVER think you are good, ALWAYS humble with humility. The minute that you have the slightest feeling that you are just a bit tinsy winsy tiny teeny good, you start to lose money. LOL

Really? Praise based on fear of what happens if you don't?
Oh dear.

And my joke video link was mainly aimed at the girl in the video being Forex.
