Hello traders .
I remember back at old time when I start trade forex and I lost my shirt all the times .It hurt me and my family so bad .
I almost had to file bankrupt and my family almost broken up .
Now I am a professional trader who make few millions dollars a year and live comfortable life .
Some how I still feel so much shame and guilty sometimes .
If forex is zero sum game means I hurt so many people and family out there because I win than some one must lose .
Once in awhile I shake up at night and some how I really worry ,I don't know what I worry about .
do I really break up other people life ?
Any successful traders out there have that kind of experience like me .
Thanks for sharing .

Yeah, "you are a professional trader who make few millions a year" and you are asking this question... 😲

Now a constructive answer... I believe there is no place for pity in this world. The person who puts money in forex that he/she cannot afford to lose would probably lose it in some other way (gambling, shopping, etc), so if the money is going somewhere, better go to your pocket :)

If you are serious you can easily make people happy. Just mirror your trading to users and bring them profit.

Forex is not a zero sum game, no market in the world is a zero sum game but a negative sum game, unless you have ZERO transaction costs (spreads, exchange/broker fees etc.) Just a note :)
