Well i don't if here is the right place to say this. But my first job was trading.
It all started when i finished high school, my father gave me some books, money. And show what was the stock market.
Shares, options and then index market.
As above said, it's addictive. Where on earth you can make x2 your payroll in one hour?
as well, i not quite rich yet. Seems i still a lot of study to do.
This road took me away from trading platforms not only because the lack of money, but i saw my flaws wasn't only because of the poor strategy, more introspect matter, Pacience, Consistence are major keys to achieve success in this line of work. Even my graduation course and specialization, were picked to give me tools thought would be necessary to become a better trader. After all, if i could do backtesting x100 times faster who knows how many strategies can we come up with?
Day Trading, Swing Trading, Long-Term investment. All of them requires a lot of mental, spiritual and material work to achieve your goals.
Do what your guts says but remember to watch yourself as a third person too. We all have flaws.
Wish you good luck and Healthy Days, the rest we train to achieve.
Wow! this one is a good piece of advice, thanks mate! I really like and it hit me the most when you said to watch yourself as a third person - this is really a good advice because sometimes or most of the time, new traders just trade blindly and they never learn from their previous trades and it pain me to see this because I was once a victim of this thing. Now, take this advice and you will succeed at trading, I am certain of it.
