Why is it a bad idea? I won't trade a lot of money, I'll use maybe $1500 or so, money I can afford to lose. The idea with trading forex would be to learn trading with real money, but at the same time studying for a degree which will be good for me.
I am a 28 year old and have been working for close to 8 years now. I don't have a very high qualification and therefore I don't earn that much money that will allow me to save and become financially independent one day. I am seriously considering taking a year off from working either in 2014 or...
Very impressive, I hope you continue doing well with your trading.
I work a 9 to 5 job and only trade end of day, I consider myself a swing trader. My hope and dream is to quit my job after a few years and become an independent day trader.
I'm not an expert, but I don't think one needs to love their loses in order to become a better trader. One just needs to accept the loses fully and not get emotional.
