Your first live trade: what was it, and how did it go?

First trades are memorable whether they won or lost. Sharing them helps people still on demo see what a first real trade actually feels like.

Tell us:

• the pair and direction, if you remember
• how you felt while it was open — checking every minute, or calm?
• whether you followed a plan or just wanted to be in the market
• the one thing you'd change about that first trade

One rule for the thread: no "I doubled my account" stories. First trades that taught a lesson are the useful ones.
