must stop trading and take cover! Most currency accounts blow up and experience the heaviest of
                 losses during these times. Historically, FX traders have a series of early successes, and then, a huge
                 loss. The idea is to know yourself so well, that you can tell when you are getting overconfident.

                         If you begin to feel these feelings, if you begin to feel overexuberant in your trading style,
                 then this is a sign that you are not respecting currency trading enough. The FX markets demand to be
                 respected! If you hold what they tell you in high regard, if you listen to the markets and look at the
                 charts, if you're trying your hardest to not get yourself into trades that are potential disasters, then
                 you will be rewarded. The reward might not come in big, prideful gains. The reward may, on the other
                 hand, come in a way that keeps you away from your trading desk when the markets are sour, or when
                 your confidence is too big for the market itself. You might be rewarded by being allowed to keep your
                 currency trading account until the next trading day.
