I will take this. I believe forex is very personal, competitive, and about carving out edges. It might turn out dangerous if you lazily and negligently follow dogmas and biased conventions. I also appreciate the burning passion side also, it shows me you are ready to water your dreams with your sweat into maturity. Me too. I am more successful in the market owing from my diligence not necessarily the regulation of my broker (even some regulated trigger stop losses, spike, infest client with requote and slippage venoms etc). So far, from my responsible caution, I can 'forcefully borrow' even offshore brokers transparency once he meets my trading options. Personally regulating them into ethical professionalism. We all need to be diligent as this is very important.
The typical ET endless thread... : "I am..." "No, you're not.) "Yes, I am." "No. No, you're not." etc etc etc etc etc etc That over 10+pages at least to make it a successful post. Awesome.
what else can you expect when teachers in the US do not teach but tell their students how wonderful and talented they are and there is no such thing as failure in life. can you imagine a teacher in china with the same attitude?
It s also a lot down to TV which has a huge influence on generation "Y" and Millennials.. Everybody you see on TV is a huge success of some form... (hidden message : "YOU SHOULD TOO !!!"...) Same distortion on Facebook : only see posts of expensive holidays, fine eateries etc...
