My trading adventure started on my 20th birthday when my parents gave me an account with FXCM trading platform that had a small amount of money in it (~161 USD). As I was new to it and had no real idea how to use the platform or what trading was about I inevitably lost this money... I experienced slight profits at the start which were possibly dumb luck but after that it was all down hill.
During my last year at university I decided to try again with just a 50 USD deposit. Again I experience profits at the beginning in the first couple of weeks and was able to increase the balance to approximately 80 USD. From what I have read online many traders who attempt day trading from home experience profits at first, shortly followed by extensive losses and then them giving up. I also suffered losses again down to a zero balance. This was very frustrating and off putting as I was at a loss as to why this kept happening to me.
Recently, in September I began trading again after gathering the funds to restart. I began this time with approximately 200 USD. I was once again on the road to success, still unsure if I was going to lose all of this too or actually make some money.
