I recently learned two very valuable lessons about forex trading and I'd like to share them with you.
As a Forex trading coach with Currensys, I frequently receive emails from traders looking not only for trading signals and Forex strategies, but for emotional support during a rough trading patch. I consider it both my job and my privilege to help traders get through these rough spots without losing too much money – and without losing their desire to trade Forex.
We'd had a rough week here in deepest darkest Africa. Without warning, but with alarming unfortunate regularity, we've had what we call "?lights off" incidences. Boom! And the power is off.

I like instant gratification. Scratch that, I love instant gratification. I like fast food, instant coffee, scratch-off lottery tickets, and instant messages. I don't want to wait for my food to be cooked or my coffee to perk or for numbers to be announced or for mail to arrive. If that means I'm immature, so be it.

Oh well, that's life here in Africa.

I'd had enough. I'd "?played" for a few days, doing lots and lots of simple trades in the demo mode. This is kids stuff, I think. I can solidify my Forex trading strategy as I go along; I'll just keep using my "?toe in the water" approach and it will be fine. Gulp.
