How it all began in 2012

in #trading7 years ago

Good Morning my Friends ,

I want to start my new blog with the first part of my Journey.
How I came in touch with the Forex market and the world of trading.

It all starts back in 2012 when I was working as a Laboratory employee in the chemical industry

At this time I played a lot of poker never could make a living from it but made some money here and there but no big deal just some dollars which I used to play some bigger tournaments anyway I was a little gambler and always attracted from making some easy dollars with preferably no or a little effort .
I have a good memory of this day maybe because I found my passion maybe because it was a hot summer day and the whole lab was sweating like a couple of nuns at a penguin hunt.

I was talking to some workmate about money and how to invest it in the best way he told me his dad is doing something called binary options at the financial market and he also want to join and invest some capital .

I was hooked instantly and felt like I want to know more about this totally new topic.
Together we each opened an account at one of this “scammer” pages (you can find 100s in the www)
without any research or any education at this topic.
I know what you think now …and yes I was young and I needed the money .
I started opening random Positions after looking at a chart I found on some page can’t even remember which one it was.
Now you think what the F..K this is going to end bad!
Yes you are right it ended bad but only on day2.
Day 1 was a very good day I made round about 30-40 trades in the evening after work and gained nearly 100% Return on my invested money (thats some lucky punches hehe)
but it was only a 100$ Bankroll so nothing to freak out about.
On day2 I was ready to push my account to the next 100% gain
..wrooong …

End of this day was a disaster and I erased nearly my whole account I was totally shocked by this and pulled out the remaining dollars with the intention to educate myself and learn about the market who slapped me right into the face.
After reading a couple of articles about Trading and realizing how deep this topic is I decided to try a thing called social trading and let others handle my positions while I’m learning about the Forex Market .

And that my dear steemers was my first touch with this industry and the whole game.

I will continue with this journey in my next Post and you will also find some Chart Analyses for next week here ..maybe in a couple of hours depending how fast i do my watchlist today ;-)

Hope you enjoyed a little
whish you all a nice weekend and see you soon
Cheers /Trueman23
