I blew off my account with FXCM because of overleveraged trading

I love their trading platform .

As for making money. Early on in my forex career, I overleveraged my account which resulted in several margin calls. I learned my lesson and now trade a small % of my balance. I prefer to enter and exit quickly, but if I have to leave the trade open, I feel confident, I can leave my computer and let it do it's thing

At least until you've proven to yourself that you consistently make small amounts of money trading at very low leverage, DO NOT TRADE at high leverage. Start with very LOW leverage and come up slowly. Really slowly. If you are trading at low leverage with proper account management AND you enter a trend, there's no reason to sit in front of your computer. Let the trading platform do it's work and go about your daily
