🩺📉 From Medical Student to Forex Trader: My True Survival Story

📌 “I didn’t trade to get rich. I traded to survive.”

Hello everyone, my name is [Insert Your Name or Handle], and this is not a fairy tale story about Forex.

This is my truth.

I’m a medical student studying abroad. I came here chasing a dream — but dreams are expensive. Tuition, rent, food, books — everything added pressure to my shoulders. I didn’t want to keep calling my family for help. So I started looking for something that could help me earn while I studied.

That’s when I found Forex.

It looked like a solution.

But instead, it almost broke me.

💔 The Reality of Starting With Nothing

When I began trading, I didn’t have capital. I didn’t have mentorship.

I had hope — and a free demo account.

But hope doesn’t protect you from:

• ❌ Fake signal providers

• ❌ Scammy brokers

• ❌ Emotional decisions

• ❌ Total account wipeouts

I lost count of how many times I blew my account.

I cried. I got angry. I was frustrated.

Sometimes I had no money left for food, rent, or books.

But I never gave up.

🎯 The Biggest Mistakes I Made

These are lessons I wish someone told me earlier:

1. 📉 Trading Real Money Without Knowledge

I traded live accounts without understanding proper lot sizes, risk management, or the market itself. That’s gambling, not trading.

2. 📲 Following Random Signal Providers

I trusted people with flashy cars and empty promises. Their signals cost me more than just money — they cost me confidence.

3. 🏦 Choosing the Wrong Broker

Some brokers hit your Stop Loss (SL) even when the market never reached it.

They manipulate spreads. They play dirty. I learned the hard way to always research regulation and reviews.

4. 🧠 Ignoring Trading Psychology

I let emotions ruin good setups. I overtraded. I chased losses. I traded when angry, sad, even when hungry. Bad psychology = bad trading.

📚 How I Turned the Pain Into Power

After losing again and again, I realized: this is a skill, not a shortcut.

I started:

• Studying price action and market structure

• Backtesting strategies

• Using only 1–2 confluences instead of 10 indicators

• Practicing strict risk management

• Journaling every single trade

• Learning how to think like a trader, not just act like one

Trading is now a discipline, not a dream.

And even though I’m still learning — I’m doing it the right way.
