I tried forex in 2005 without success. I lost $500 and therefore decided I should quit. I was unemployed at the time and borrowed money from my mom to try trading. It was very disappointing to say the least.
I have always been fascinated with forex and wanted to come back to it but lived in fear that I would just keep failing. But I have been studying forex for the last few weeks and have gained some confidence in my ability to be a success this time around.
So now I am back with my own money and a new attitude. I have been trading on a demo account for the past couple of weeks with some success. I think (or hope) that I have come up with a winning trading plan and strategy. I have decided I am ready to go live and am going to open a real account today. Wish me luck!
