If you only making 4k out of 100k then you are better off writing small loans and charging high % rates. i.e. prosper and the likes.
I haven't posted on this site in a long time but thought I would chime in and echo what another poster said with respect to consistency. I am a perfect example of a reasonably small trader but who trades very, very consistently - that has always been my objective. Consistency sets you apart from the pack. Sounds cliche, but focus on that and profits come. With consistency even a 'small' trader can do extremely well.
depends on how long you've been trading, for a rook thats good,the longer your at it, the more setups you will see,that builds, you are a business and have to build yourself,learn to take setups and sit on your hands, and learn how to take losses quickly,you won't be giving it back
Last time I talked to an intern I learned that you cannot make 2K at McD It is more like 1K to 1.5K because they do not give you the hours. =) I am talking about Canada though.
don't they make something like a million a month or more? so if you're only making 4k you are not very good if you want to be good, try to make a million next month you'll need all that because they also pay a lot of taxes
A "smart" trader charges 50 people $50 a month for a chat room. now they make $30k a year "educating". fund an account for $5k and show live trades. hopefully don't lose all of that. upsell every day......sell books, seminars, whatever... gotta have an annuity.... and a really smart trader hires others to run the chat room and sell seminars.....while they talk about selling the business.
yeah busta show us your 4k a day lifestyle. i call bullshit on you. your name fits, you are a real buster.
