That's true man, but you have to demo trade for at least 6 months until you really understand.. Then you start with real money and you will almost surely lose it.. I blew out my account 6 times before I finally (and very slowly) started to inch forward.. I lost $6,000 initially..
The trade you just made was incredibly dangerous for example.. You don't want to jump in and grab 20 pips on a pair with a 6 pip spread that has been heading down with strong momentum.. You'll die quickly doing that..
