Going Back To Class.

in The Ink Well2 days ago

Tunde hails me a lot and calls me one of the smartest Forex learners he has ever taught and come across because I improved so fast with my trades. Sometimes, he uses the word guru. That made me feel so good and felt I was the best so I dropped out of my Forex school after seeing that I’m good enough to start trading with real money.
After I missed three Forex classes consecutively, Tunde called to check on me.

Hello smart woman. You’ve not been attending classes lately. Are you fine? I didn’t even wait for him to land before I started racking my brain thinking of what to say.

I traveled and the network is very bad here so I can’t even come online, I saved myself with this lie.

At some point, the calls from Tunde were getting too much and annoyng so I stopped picking his calls and the five cent I make from Forex daily was enough for me.

I don’t know what’s going on in your life right now but if you can find your way, I want you to be present at our Forex classes again so you can trade better, I woke up to this message from Tunde again. This text message ruined my day because I kept on contemplating on what to do. I disregarded the text message and went on to my trading application to check my current trade. It was a bloodshed and out of control. Only Tunde, my boss can help me out from that situation.
I was losing sixteen dollars already while I had just twenty dollars in my wallet.

Hello Tunde. Please, help me. I’m on sixteen dollars loss. What do you think I should do? I would have preferred to call Tunde but it’s going to be so shameful if I end up calling the same person whom I’ve been ignoring for weeks.

Hmm, I knew a day like this will come. That’s why I’ve been telling you to come back for classes. I know you’re smart but you haven’t learned enough, embarrassment was an understatement to what I felt. I took all the blames and focused on saving my funds so I don’t lose it all.

Can I login into your trading application? he asked. I immediately sent him my login details so he can have access into my trading account and tell me what I can do.

Aghh, this is one of the expressions I dislike the most but for Tunde to begin a voice note with this expression, it meant my situation was worst and there may be no solution.

What’s going to happen now?, I sent him a text message after I called him countless times and he wasn’t picking up.

It’s either you stop the loss for your account not to get blown or you wait for the loss to get to or close to the entry point again so that you can stop the loss, there was no need for me to act like I had a choice. I chose to watch the trade till it gets close to my entry point before stopping the loss. Every minute, I made sure to check the chart and that never felt boring to me.

Phone rings It was Tunde and I wondered why he will be calling at the middle of the night but I didn’t have a choice since he had something to help me with. I thought I blew my account already.

Check your trade. It must have reduced back to five dollars loss. You can close the trade now, I hung up the call immediately to do that and I even forgot to say “thank you”. Losing five dollars instead of sixteen dollars isn’t that bad.

The only exciting thing about it was that my loss had reduced but still doesn’t change the fact that I lost some money in the trade. I was so ashamed of myself and remembered the countless calls I purposely missed from Tunde.
Checking my phone, it was him again. There was no way I could ignore his call this time.

Will you be willing to attend classes now?, he asked. At that moment, I succumbed that I wasn’t a good trader enough and in the next class, I was ashamed to join but everyone welcomed me and accepted me back to class.

Right now, I’m a better trader than before but I still attend classes for more training as I get better everyday.

Losing 5 dollars is not much. Due to my negative experience trading forex, I can't imagine myself trading it any longer

Heheh😅😅😅😅😅

The best way to improve is to keep studying. Good that you reflected and avoided major losses. Good story
Greetings @abojode

I’ll just keep trying my best to study
Thank you

Forex trading is not for the weak. If you are not ready to lose money don't start. I am sorry you lost 5$.

Thank you
I hope I get better at it

The world of trading is very risky and in the blink of an eye everything can be lost. It is a very wise decision to continue learning about this world every day.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Excellent day.

Hehe
It’s very risky but life itself is a risk
