{quote} nice trade!
I was reading your earlier post, about trading being hard work and you need to be in the market etc. I am not knocking it, if you can do that and it's obvious you can, and in time it's what I aim to do, have more than one position on at a time and so forth, but I know my limitations at the moment. I'm saying this because for the newbies it's probably not what to aspire to initially, I know I'd get into a hole and wipe out my account even with 7 years trading experience if I went that way, so for you newbies, be careful, one step at a time.
Also the 10,000, I absolutely agree with that, it's a general thing, on average it takes about that long to become qualified at something, but longer to become proficient, it will be shorter for some obviously, trading is not about intelligence either, it's more about dealing with your emotion, I mean lets face it only two thing can happen a pair can go up or down, ok there is the question of to where and when but fundamentally it's basic.
I read somewhere that people will spend 3 years on a university degree and money, and vast sums of it in some countries, with the end result of being able to earn a modest living, however there is something about forex that makes you think, including myself that it's a piece of cake (if only.....) and expect to become proficient in a few weeks. So - keep it in perspective traders.
