Hi, I am a Newbie too (+4 months on Demo accounts ONLY).
I too was tempted to start on Live account when I first got involved in Forex by one of my friends, but I tried very hard (and succeeded) to be patient until i know the trade well enough. But now after +4 months down the road, I am still not sure I know how to trade successfully.
Soon as i thought I got the hang of it and started making good profits, I messed up and have to date blown away more than USD250k of Demo's account virtual money.
I guess I am not ready yet and so will spend many2 more days, weeks, and probably months of my free time clicking on those "Sell" & "Buy" buttons.
Patience is not easy to cultivate, and Greed is a real killer!
Cheers!
Making Profit IS EASY, keep it IS NOT
