Your piece sent me back to memory lane. When I first learned how to trade the forex market, I would make 200 bucks in a day and get excited about it. By the time I was making 2k in a week, I got confident, then I threw in all I saved up in penny stocks and lost it all.



I was depressed and quit trading. The truth is I was copying my mentor's trades and did not do the work to learn how to read the charts. I had no plan, no strategy. When I quit, I trained myself to control my emotion and took some courses to learn the financial market correctly. That experience thought me some valuable lessons I still apply in my business today.
