Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

Also, how is this any different that any other trading individual where 95% fail?

 

because you are trading with an endless supply of money

as long as you have a job, you will always be able to refund your trading account

 

So what happens if you lose the $1000, do you deposit another $1000 and start over?

 

asset allocation?

always keep 1k at a bucket shop?

 

Sure. And if you think about it this is identical to you closing a trade with a $600 loss considering margin requirement and opening a new trade.

 

yes, but when I get stopped out at $600, I have a finite account

you have an unlimited account

 

maybe you have a point

everybody should keep 10% of their net wrth invested in a small business

even if they don't know what the hell they are doing

who lnows? one of these years they may get lucky

 

the thing about being a gambler is

no matter how bad it goes

you will always come up with another stash

 

I also have growing investments. What's your point?

 

Dang it, Ed Seykota was right. Everyone gets what they want from the market.
