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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Huihu - a well written piece of advise on full time trading. I had to use Google translator to comprehend it. The trading should not take full time but it is more successful if done on part time basis, based on certain ideas/indicator etc. Spend time to develop a strategy on Daily/ 4 Hour chart and then follow along. You do not need to spend your time watching the chart move in a random way, rather spend analyzing it (after all the chaos) and predict what will be the next move.

I'm trading for a living full-time, its not easy but I'm consistent in what I do, most of my focus has been trading for Prop-Firms where I'm raising capital.

I prefer trading part-time because of the risks involved. You might be doing good enough for a year or so and then start making losses consistently just because the market can never be predicted accurately.

- How did you make the move from part time trading to fulltime?

As soon as I was consistently making more money than my job, then I took the leap.

- What starting capital did you require to trade full time?

By the time I decided to go full time my capital had reached a little over $100,000

- Has your performance changed once you did the transition from part to full time?

My performance is constantly changing for the better, although not always as straightforward as you may think. Sometimes 1 step forward then 2 steps back. It helps to be aware of the impact of your decisions, how you arrived there and if anything can be improved. The markets are constantly changing so learn to move with them and understand why they are changing. There are numerous markets and ways to trade, learning what best suits your trading personality will help you for the future. I don't believe that there is one solution that fits all. You need to learn how you react in different situations and if you have done enough preparation to minimise risk.

- Are you happy with your decision?

Absolutely, my life is so different now. I have complete control over my financial future, it is only down to me if I fail or succeed and not dictated to by someone else that is motivated by reaching their own goals. A certain level of success starts to transcend all areas of your life, even positively affecting those around you. Life becomes rewarding in ways you may never have thought of.

- Do you trade only your own money? Either yes or no, why?

I have traded others money, it changed me negatively. Fear of failing became even greater. knowing my actions were depended upon gave me a new pressure that I had never experienced. I didn't react well to it. I stopped trading other peoples money and immediately knew it was the right decision. Others can do it successfully but I found it too difficult. It is not something I plan to consider for the future.

- Do you see yourself still trading fulltime in the long term?

I will be trading for the rest of my life. I have always had a desire to trade ever since I started investing in shares over 20 years ago. I found forex and commodities and was sucked in immediately.
Once you have your capital, guard it with your life!!! Master the risks, never gamble. Build a strategy that fits your trading personality, what works for one doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you, unless you are copying some automated trading system. Never give up, know that success comes from the sustained pursuit.

Could not agree more (with your whole post that is)...
most people claim the risk .. while they do have a job, betting everything on a single paycheck that may (or may not) come next month.

losing a single trade is part of the business and nothing really serious, losing the paycheck can be life-ending in today's society, so Yes, trading is definitely the better choice.

there are some aspects in terms of morality, but hey we are just VERY small fish in a very very big pond ;)
