How much have you lost in forex trading?
How much have you lost before developing a winning strategy?

Please answer only if you have had a REAL account and your initial deposit was MORE THAN 25k. :) Thank you.

$50 000 is the short answer.

That includes 18 months development costs at Oanda for $600 a month for 18 months and 10 years of server rentals. And a few false starts.

The money is actually the lesser aspect of it. It's the time it took that was/is the biggest cost. So big in fact that I might never fully recover it.

The only way I can ever recoup it, is if I can take the rest of my life off and never have to worry about money again. And that's unlikely to happen.

Luck is not much of a trading strategy.

I've developed good strategies, so the money is not an issue, I'll make it back and a gazillion more. But I do hope people reading this realise what it really takes to make it in not only fx, but trading in general. Years and years of failure and extreme costs in terms of time and money.

I've gone as far as to put myself on coding courses to learn how to code to do this.

You're not going to buy a $50 EA and make money or follow someone else whose most likely got half a clue and make oodles of money.

Good point. It happened with all of us sooner or later.
Only then we start to think about system and same trading plan.

I lost a lot more than $5k. But approximately a year later got everything back + x2 more.

The best lesson, never give up.
Stable 20% per month without manual intervention...

your EA doesn't work! It's just a plain gambling EA adding to losing position and hope that market will reverse! 60%-70% DD and you still call your EA a performing EA?
