Question by Introfeel: What is a loosing forex trade?
I don’t know anything about forex so don’t use a lot of jargon. What is a winning trade and what is a losing trade in forex?

Let’s say that you sold 100 Euro futures contracts at 1.3390 but then the Euro went to 1.4390. The contract is worth $ 125,000 so you would lose $ 125,000*100*0.1 = $ 1.25 M and they will take your house, your car, and your dog to get it from you.

That would ruin my holiday cheer big time.
