On Thursday, a trading consultant from forex.com contacted me and gave me some pointers. On Friday, he called again and went over a few more techniques that have helped. After loosing 1/2 of my initial investment in just 1 week, I thought my wife was gonna kill me. Instead, she has been quite supportive and insists that I learn from the experience and grow from it.
Here's to hoping week 2 has a better ending.
