When I started trading Forex, I nominated the following milestones to justify my decision and track progress as I started to make consistent profits. Shortly after I started with my live account I suffered some setbacks, the major one a Swiss Franc trade in January 2015. I later recouped those losses and have been consistently profitable since June 2015.
