i trade but not for a living, I do it earn extra income and lucky for me i work with a great trader that manages over 24 million and i follow his trades. He is also ranked at barclays. so maybe i copy a bunch of his trades but, it works.
I think trading is best as a part time business or when your retired . Been in the game for a while and tried trading as a sole income but it was too stress full . It might be easier if you had $500K and you need to make $100K a year. But if you only have $50 K it too stressful to try to make $40K a year off that. Luckily with my job i can trade during the day which makes it an ideal parttime busines . Good luck !
