Losing Money on an Impulse

I have been looking to make some money working from home. Having spent a decade with a regular pay check I have experienced the pleasure of earning my own money. It’s been ages since I had a regular job but I still remember the good feeling at the end of the month when my account was credited.

So I signed up on a website to trade in currencies and commodities using binary options. This basically means that you have to predict the market trend whether its going up or down. If you are right you get your money back with a good profit and if you are wrong you lose it all.

On my first day I did a few trades which I won. Then I did a few more which I lost. And since I had lost money I did more trades to try to win back the money I had lost. I lost some more. I got a bit carried away and lost around 60% of the trades I had made. Thankfully I was only trading in small amounts so overall I didn’t lose that much.

After that I learnt my lesson and and have decided not to indulge in such a risky business. Losing money is absolutely no fun!
