Tuition can be expensive in Forex. :lol:

Have you being in such situation, what were your initial feelings?

Have those feelings still coming sometimes?

And how you control them?

Please check here what happened.

I was thinking in staying in the game the hole day to take more pips, but I felt I was getting too greedy. So, I went shopping instead.

I got that 15% today because I went in with double lot size.

I NOW feel I need to learn more about money management otherwise I may end up taking too long to grow the account or worse, blow the account.

Anyone has tips or URLs about money management?

Thanks in advance.

indeed, understand compounding (1% per day will add a zero to your balance in a year)

instead of doubling, start small and when in profit (sl 2 breakeven) add at certain place to your position when price action is going in your direction.
follow the tip of bredin.(--> MO's thread)

further i remember 3clipz referred to chapter 7 (for MM) of the following book:

@genlogins

Ryan Jones has a great book called The Trading Game:

(no affiliate links).

MO's Space Wars is also great.
