Simple's Green Room

[Qui-Gon Kagi]

Misery loves good company and forex has made me miserable for over a year now. I was chugging along making consistant gains when I first started over a year ago and did so for about 5 months but then I became frustrated with the small dollar gains so I increased my risk and it chiseled my account down by nearly 50% in a matter of a months time. I took a break for a couple months and then borrowed more money so that I didn't have to trade with more risk. A couple months ago I started with a fresh $5,000 in my account vice the previous $1,500 and thought that the larger account balance would make it easier for me to avoid the frustration, but since starting again I'm down to $4,805 in my account now thanks to early trades, especially those early trades on the yen pairs. I too am determined not to let this beat me and equally determined to get my money back from trading the yen pairs! It's good to have the motivation and passing of good info on the board from others in the same boat. We all have learning to trade well at heart here on SG's board.
