Hi ya all,
Don't post much as usually don't feel I can add value but really touched by unlv's post and the subsequent replies and of course James who's posts always impress me.....I think its the empathy for others that shines through.
The attraction to forex for me is
1. I can be my own boss
2. I can invest as much or little as I like, ie, time, effort and money
3. If its not going good I can stop for a while
4. It lures me with promises of freedom such as from one day hopefully never having to work for corporation again or for others perhaps not having their employer dictate their lives...
5. It challenges my negative emotions. Fear, greed, impatience.... and makes me work to improve them.
I hope it works out for you unlv, just hang in there and trade small amounts and make sure you continually test and improve your emotions !
Best wishes all,
Joe in that place downunder
