Joe Ross' Biggest Loss in Forex
(…) You wrote about the experience of losing $45,000 in about twenty minutes, and the fact that with support of your wife, you managed to forgive yourself. How do you think the ability to forgive oneself can help a young trader?
The ability to forgive yourself is incredibly important. Jesus said that you will be forgiven if you forgive others. So it is a two part thing. Many traders have never forgiven someone from their past. (...)
(...) One night in the Bahamas, where I was living at the time, we were sitting with another friend of mine who is a psychologist. We were talking about trading, all relaxed, enjoying a beer.
