forex day trading ( after 10 years of learning and still learning) is currently my only income, with a mortgage and young kids but I could easily go back to engineering project work if things turned to shit.. did Take a lot more than I thought and I can see why now many struggle , my particular style of trading relies heavily on understanding the order flow and I often take day trades based off the daily or longer term time frames.. Gain the knowledge and test your setups or what you've learned through historical and live charts , implement by opening lives trade and the quality of your decisions or what you've learned and tested will reflect in your results.
yes you are a trader Handle, great stuff .. I agree stay away from chat rooms and other influences and master your process
I know a couple of pro traders as well as trade myself, they trade for their income and have helped me at no cost
