Did you not use a stop loss?? Did you get into a trend going in the wrong direction?? Yes there were some large trends recently! You should of been stopped out if you were headed in the wrong direction which would of preserved some of your capital to play again.

It sounds as though you went in wide eyed $$ hoping to get rich, but what so commonly happens, the forex market ate your money and had no mercy on you. Many a person has lost thousands doing the same thing. To trade takes wisdom, knowledge and patience to have multiple indicators to confirm a direction and timing to enter. Also, if news comes out, you must have downside protection (stoploss) to protect you in case of what-if situations, like what you experienced.

Sorry to hear about you trade!
