Trading success requires proper education, risk management, and understanding your financial goals before investing real money in the forex market. 

• Financial freedom is the ultimate goal of forex trading - working from anywhere while making enough to cover expenses
• New traders must prioritize education and finding a good mentor before placing trades
• Using a small live account rather than a demo helps develop crucial emotional stability
• Professional traders experience significant losses too - one trader lost $35,000 in a single day on gold
• Risk management means knowing your monthly expenses and targeting realistic returns (10-20% monthly)
• Finding your niche can lead to consistent profits - for some traders, gold becomes their specialty
• Understanding lot sizes and leverage is essential - higher numbers mean both higher reward potential and higher risk

If you want to learn more about forex trading, take time to educate yourself, find a regulated broker, and practice with appropriate account sizes before committing significant capital.
