DislikedI just lost $2000 in Cable. All the hard earned money I made by going long in AUD (after that september NFP where I was short and fighting the trend).
Feel suicidal now :-(Ignored
When I first started trading Cable was the currency I traded the most. I thought that because I lived in the country I would have a better handle on it. I was fooling myself. Once I dropped Cable my account became a lot healthier.
I don't want to sound like I am preaching here but because you are relatively new to trading I would suggest that you get to know one or two currencies really, really well - my favourites are EUR and AUD. Then when you feel really comfortable with those currencies then maybe you can branch out.
Tomorrow is another day though. When I experienced big losses I used to think well at least I haven't opened a restaurant, spent thousands on refurbishing it, signed up a ten year lease and then watch the business go under with no hope of recouping the money that I had laid out. That's the beauty of forex - you can just shut your computer and take a break and when you feel better, come back and place some killer trades.
Nothing worth having is easy.
