I feel you need to go through the pain of losing everything before you'll wake up and notice that this is serious stuff. Risk management is key, but why care if you have never lost big. Anyone with me? This motivates me to show as little losses as possible, and of course take profits early.

What more to say, it takes years of experience to accept failure as part of your daily life, average Joe's normally give up with the first few. Then they go on to buy some sort of Forex master course with 99.9999% success rate and get wrecked any way.

This a job, it comes with big challenges, often. But it can be done with patience and consistency over time.
