It all started when I was doing nothing one night and I got on the internet looking around for anything interesting to read. Then I saw one of those little blue ads, which we all know now are from Google. That's how long I have been doing this; there wasn't even a Google then. So sad, not that there wasn't a Google, but how long I have been on the computer looking for something appealing to do!
The advertisement said something like; "How I Make $50,000 A Month." First, I thought it was a joke or just one more "Get Rich Quick Scream," but I clinked on it anyway. That was the start of this tremendous adventure that can tear your heart out at one moment and make you feel like you're the smartest person in the world five minutes latter.
The mouse click of the advertisement takes me to a site offering automated Forex Trading Systems for sale. I read their sales pitch and I will never forget what is said, "Just Turn Your Computer On and Plug in our System and go Play Golf and we will Make you Rich." It sounded great, but I knew there was no way I could buy a piece of software for $100 and it was going to make me rich. But, the supposedly intelligent fellow I am I did it anyway.
The first few days went great. I forget the actual amounts I made, but it was something between $100 and $150 a day for the first three days. Then day four came and I lost $500 which wiped out all of my winnings and put me in the red. Enough of this I said to myself, if I want to really make money I need to find out what I am doing. Then I started searching the internet for free currency trading training tools.
The entire time I was reading everything I could get my hands on in the back of my mind I never forgot that the software did do a few things great. One was that it collected huge amounts of data, which I could never have done myself. Second, it sorted through that data and provided me specific information based on its initial programming. Third, it allowed me to tweak the program for what I wanted to see and turn the automated trading off.
When I first start searching the internet for free information relating to Forex trading for profits I found out there is not very much of it. Then I hit the mother-load. I keep noticing during my search that all the brokerage firms offer you free a free education on currency trading and a free demo account when you fill out their application for an account. I tried the first one and I did not have to deposit any money to receive the free educational material as well as the demo account. I tried a second one, and then a third one and found out they all worked that way.
I signed up for four of them and read everything they had. By the time I got to the fourth one I realized I was not getting very much more new information. They were just rehashing what I read at the previous sites. But, at least now I know what I am doing, or I thought I did. The next thing I did was I starting messing around with the demo accounts. And the same thing would happen sooner or later. I would do fine for a while making money and then I would crash and burn going broke time after time.
