How I Lost $17,800.50 Within 5 Seconds of Trading Forex
Lessons from a costly mistake
The 6th day of March 2020 was a remarkable day — a day I won’t forget too soon.
It wasn’t the first time I got laid. It wasn’t my 18th birthday. It sure wasn’t the day I graduated from College. And no, it wasn’t the day I got my first car.
It was the day the least expected thing happened to me.
