This is the way I discovered Forex.
I offered my company many years back and retired. My spouse, it turned out, wasn't interested in retirement. She continues to work. It was not bad in the summertime, I sailed into my hearts content and went scuba diving. Then winter came. It snows a lot where I live, and I HATE the snow. So I found myself
Home Alone M-F with nothing to do. I began surfing the net. I think I almost finished the internet, I had been down to websites that told you how you can have fake ID, build your meth lab, create bombs . I found an article on forex, with a link that brought me to fxcm. This looks pretty cool, I thought to myself. I started an acct and sent 8K off.
I will never forget my first trade. I went on the EUR/USD,
Why? ( at this point I had heard of charts but hadn't actually seen one) ,
Well the last time that I moved to Europe, it cost me a lot to exchange my Dollars for Euro's. So the Euro must have something going for this. I lost about $1500. On that trade.I was able to trade like this for approximately 4 months. A number of you probably think I'm joking, I'am not. This really happened.
We all hear the stories, the experienced/successful traders have lost an acct. Its a rite of passage. We inform the noobs, do not make. It does not sink . As a noob, I discovered what I wished to listen to, I saw what I wished to see.
