Anyone Trading For A Living?

I began trading in 2019 but had no knowledge of it, which led me to believe it was similar to gambling after losing money. Since the pandemic hit the world, I was able to begin learning to trade in January 2021, and over the next 5 months, I put in some effort to learn how to trade. Finally, from June 2021 to the present, I've been able to maintain consistency with my trading strategy. Well, I don't win big, but I believe that consistency in monthly profits is the key to greater success. I'm still far from dependable living with forex trading but this adds as additional vehicle income to build wealth.

In general, this option is quite interesting for work. But you should understand that you need to be able to quickly respond to market situations.

Yes, ofcourse! Forex trading can be chosen as a full-time career to make a living. A number of things that help traders maximise profits include creating a trading routine, having a sound knowledge of indicators, patterns, market analysis, follow risk-reward ratios, win rates, stop-loss and take profit orders, tracking progress through maintaining a trading journal etc. And most importantly, it is essential to have a disciplined and focused routine. All this definitely helps through the journey of forex trading and in maximising profits.

Most day traders participate in trading with the money in mind. It's wrong because no one with experience or knowledge can make money.

Yes, I switched from being a full-time educator to a forex trader. The factors that led me to walk down this road were the convenience to trade 24/7, easy entry and exit as well as low cost of trading as well. Also, unlike other businesses, trading doesn’t require a lot of capital investment as well.

Trading for a living is risky because it’s not easy to have a consistent income through trading. You should do it along with some other job so that you have a second income source.

This option for trading is quite interesting, but it is more important to have experience in this mode.

以交易为生，这是很多交易者的终极梦想，梦想着在海边沙滩上，一杯果汁，一张躺椅，一台笔记本电脑，一边轻松度假，一边交易赚钱，听着浪声数钞票，能够让自己和家人不缺物质享受，又能有足够的时间追逐自己的精神世界。这样的画面现在或者曾经都出现在不少交易者头脑中，这样的画面也曾出现在我的脑海中。

关于这样的画面，大家当作一种动力追求可以，但是不要过于执着这样的状态。

上面之所以要提到大家都曾梦想的交易状态，是因为很多人都有这种憧憬，这种对全职交易实现财务自由状态的憧憬让很多人失去了理性的判断。

有的人会因为持续亏损而进入全职状态，认为是平时杂事太多，没有全职交易才导致亏损的，所以他们认为自己必须停止其他一切工作，专心全职交易。有的人会因为一段时间交易绩效良好而过度自信认为自己该进入全职状态，实际上技术能力、资金规模、内心状态都没准备好。而不论因为何种原因进入全职交易状态，最终承受的并不是想象的蓝天白云大海自由和轻松，反而是全职交易背后带来的巨大压力，全职交易者需要通过高度不确定性的市场获取足以维持自己和家庭的一切开销以及用于长远发展的储蓄金。

虽然全职交易者绝对人数并不少，但这个群体所承受的压力比绝大多数行业承受的要大很多。

很多人都抱怨自己当前的工作，确实能够做到工作和自己的爱好相结合是最好不过了，但几乎很少有人能够做到这点。当爱好不能融入工作时，该怎么办，要放弃工作全力追求自己的爱好吗？

经常也会有交易者问我，达到什么样的交易水平可以全职交易了，其实对于大多数投资者而言，我真心不推荐全职交易，有一份稳定的工作收入来源，将交易当作是一个兴趣爱好，利用闲暇之余做做高概率交易，赚些零花钱，给家人和自己买些礼物，改善一下生活品质，这是适合绝大多数投资者的最理想状态（是的，我认为这就是最适合绝大多数投资者最理想的交易状态，而不是蓝天白云沙滩自由）。没有必要辞去工作，背水一战，在重压之下，往往心态会失衡，交易的效果反而不理想。大家千万不要觉得全职交易有更多时间盯盘了，赚钱就更多更快了，还真的不一定。生活、工作、交易达到平衡才是完美的。不用以交易为生也能过得很舒服自在，或许是另外一种更为可行的追求。

Not many traders would be making a living through forex trading. But there would surely be many of them who are making consistent profits.

Such a strategy may not always allow you to make a profit, only if you have certain knowledge and experience.

In my opinion, the most difficult task in trading is to dive fully in it. I mean, you have to refuse and leave primary workplace just because you are convinced that you will be able to earn money on forex, but it's not a fact. Of course, forex market was created for all people and everybody can earn money there but you have to acquire plenty of experience before you decide to turn this activity into a primary one.

These days everything is much more complicated than it was a decade ago. The market is becoming more harsh and daily as far as I am concerned plenty of traders are being thrown away from the market because of such harsh conditions. Here everything depends on your confidence your skills and experience and nothing more. If you understand that the money which you earn on forex cover all your monthly needs, then why not? Of course you can turn this activity into activity for a living.

I started trading as a way to bring in extra income. My husband works as a welder with a guaranteed 40 hour workweek, so we would have income without the trading, but I'm able to help pay on some of our main bills with the money and it gives us some extra spending money. In the future, I hope to bring in even more money and to dedicate more time to it, but it's difficult now because I have 3 small children and can't always focus or put in the time needed.

I can trade for you by profit sharing. If you agree, knock me here.

I was trading forex to supplement my regular income, but things got changed when I lost my job in the mass layoffs that happened during the covid 19 breakdown. As I was familiar with forex trading before the pandemic, I chose to do it full time and try to make a living out of it. I was partially successful in it due to the unpredictable nature of the market and my insufficient experience that is required to make profits consistently. I’m glad that the pandemic is over now and I’m back to my old job and I’ve also become a much better trader.

Emran - the FxPro account on your profile shows what kind of a trader you are! blown away account in 2-3 days. And now you want to offer same expertise to others!

Yes,many make a good living by trading forex.Just decide how much money you are going to invest,how much time you are going to trade and what tools,platform you are going to rely on.Always invest money you can afford to lose.Over time you may start earning profits which are sufficient to make a living.

I don’t think there would be a lot of people who are making enough with trading that they don’t have to do anything else. Trading is risky and I don’t think it can ever take the place of a regularly paying job.

Yes. it is possible and realy easy at the moment. You only have to read books from Mr. K. Schwab from Germany.

It’s not easy to do so. Traders, who have been making a living through forex trading, would have been here for over a decade. Most new traders keep struggling to make enough profits to cover the costs of trading.
