Despite fencesitting for about two years and learning a bit here and there, I really jumped into forex trading this week. My broker account only has $200, but I'm doing several small, rapid trades with TA on the 5m or 15m chart when I get a signal and generally letting them run until TP/SL is hit; if it turns profitable, I will move the SL up to break even.

I had one early bump where I didn't realize lot sizes could differ per asset and ate a $57 loss. If you ignore that one, I'm up 10% overall. So far, I'm having a great time and I'll play vidya for a chunk of time then check my orders. It's kinda funny, despite being a lazy fuck on my days off, if I tweak my behavior just that little bit, I can actually use it to make some money
