Since it is all new to me I was down 2k and was able to recover to down $500. I really liked the idea of closing out the position before going to bed.

I am going to open a live account soon, does anyone have any helpful advice? I did google some Forex info but it is a lot of data to take in and many of the results were from sponsored.

If you have some good links please forward, thanks
