Hello all, hope to be a big contributor here. I am over in the chat a room a lot.

Located in NYC, 27 years old.

Opened a real account with $100 and was hit with a margin call this morning after opening the account 8/13/12.

A lot of lessons learned in just one months time. Mainly discipline, emotions and over trading. Which it seems like it is a major problem for traders. Don’t think I would feel the way I do now if I was trading on demo. Felt more with the trades. Great learning experience.

Like I said, hope I am here for the long haul. The forex has always been very interesting to me but I never pursued it.

Thanks for reading.

Welcome

I do agree with live trading over demo as long as your are willing to loose it and be ok with it. Alot harder than demo trading IMO. Sorry to hear of the margin call so soon but I will say I am not surprised.Sounds to me like you are over leveraging with lack of discipline which is normal for someone as new as you. You must respect these markets or they will humble you. Good luck
