That you say is was “tempting” and “don’t trade Forex when you are 23 years old and stupid” makes me suspect that it’s just your huge debts that prevent you trading forex at the moment. I suspect that you may be tempted to trade again if you clear up your debts in a couple of years and think you are “older and wiser”. The biggest trap with trading is the belief that you can learn from “mistakes” and do better “next time”. As a “reformed” tradaholic I surprised that you even logged into your trading account – in fact, why the heck is that account still open? Download whatever records you might need for tax etc., and close the account for good. It would be a real tragedy if you worked your butt off to clear you debts and build up a successful business, and then started trading again in a couple of years time and get into trouble again.

Oh, miraculous personality transplants! It’s enough to make one believe in… divinity.

My cousin and his Wharton buddies all told me that FOREX is the fastest way to lose your shirt. Sorry had to learn the hard way!

Congrats on having no desire to trade again, and on recognizing the damage it caused. That is a sign of growth and maturity. You will be all right because you are living in reality, which is always the best place to be. The tough times are tough, but success is so much more meaningful when it comes from good old fashioned hard work such as what you are doing!
