Thanks.
It was sort of luck, I guess.
I know nearly nothing when I first started. I just ue my method - fundamental analysis - to play around and luckily gained!

Anyway, even if you lose, don't upset. Once you learn the rules of the trading market, you can mint money in no time. Your lost money will be back.

Re: How Much Have / Had You Lost To Get Started?

I lost about 1K in actual trading money and thousands more on signals and expensive software.

The real trading part of it was going excellent for a while though, I had just about doubled my account size in a month, then I remember some guy from fxcm saying "that strategy you're using isn't going to work for very long". It was all downhill from that point on.

Back to demo now.
