Ten Years Later — Here’s What No One Told Me About Forex

When I started trading forex 10 years ago, I thought I’d be rich in a year. I had no plan, just hope — and maybe a little ego. I blew my first account in weeks. Then another. And another.

But I didn’t quit.

In 2025, after a full decade of charts, early mornings, blown setups, and some wins I’ll never forget — I can finally answer the question:

Is forex still worth it?


Short Answer: Yes. But Not for the Reason You Think.

If you’re chasing forex for fast cash, it’ll chew you up. It’s not about flipping $50 into $5,000. That dream? That’s the bait.

But if you treat forex like a craft — something to study, refine, and grow with — it’s still worth every second.

Forex taught me more about myself than school ever did:

  • How to handle loss without panic
  • How to stay disciplined when the market’s quiet
  • How to think long-term when you want fast results

What’s Changed in 2025?

The market’s louder, faster, and more unpredictable. More brokers, more manipulation, more traders using bots.

But the core truth stays the same:

Those who manage risk and master their emotions win. Period.

What I Wish I Knew 10 Years Ago

  • It’s not about being right. It’s about surviving long enough to grow.
  • A good strategy with discipline beats a genius with no patience.
  • The market rewards consistency — not hype.

Would I Still Choose Forex?

Yes.

But not for the money — for the mindset.

Forex gave me focus. And while I’m still not living a “trader lifestyle,” I’ve built something better: clarity, confidence, and a skill I’ll carry for life.

Thinking about quitting or starting?

Ask yourself this: Are you in it for the thrill… or the growth?

Because this game rewards the patient — and humbles everyone else.

Why Your Doctor Will Never Prescribe You Spinach (Even If It Works)

Spinach:a simple ,affordable superfood your doctor might not mention -but your body will thank you later for .  The Prescription You’ll Never Get Picture this: you walk into your doctor’s office feeling tired, bloated, and run‑down. You’re hoping for real solutions. Instead, you walk out with a prescription for pills — not a single word about your diet, not even a hint that something as simple as spinach could help. Sounds familiar? That’s because the healthcare system just doesn’t work that way. Your doctor is highly trained in diagnosing illness and prescribing medication — but not necessarily in showing you how to heal through food. And yet, nature has been giving us powerful remedies like spinach long before pharmacies existed. This isn’t about hating on doctors — it’s about pointing out the uncomfortable truth: there’s no money in telling you to eat your greens. 1. The Truth About Spinach and Healing Spinach is not just “rabbit food.” It’s loaded with iron, magnesium, vi...

🫀From Chips to Chia: What I Eat Now to Keep My Cholesterol and BP in Check

Water is bae .Add some cucumbers  And watch your heart say “shap shap” Because meds aren’t the only option -your fridge can help too . I Was Out of Breath… and I Was Just Boiling Eggs That’s when I knew something wasn’t right. Not gym. Not running. Just boiling eggs. And I was breathing like I’d done hill sprints in a taxi rank. Add that to the dizzy spells, random chest pressure, and the way my jeans stopped cooperating — and I finally dragged myself to the clinic. The results? High blood pressure. High cholesterol. And I hadn’t even hit 40. My doctor gave me that look — you know the one that says, “Sis, your lifestyle needs a reboot.” So I made a decision: before I start popping pills every day, let me try fixing what’s on my plate. I started researching real foods — local, affordable, and good for the heart. Not those expensive imported berries or powders with names I can’t pronounce. I’m talking pilchards, garlic, oats… vibes we know. Here’s what I found — and wh...
