My old man use to say it doesn't matter where you're working or what type of job you're doing... Pay your taxes, stay out of trouble (crime), take care of your family and you're then contributing to society. wrbtrader
Trading for small amount allows more freedom. Freedom to work anywhere, live anywhere....But for most, trading is a dream...
Any tips for those that plan to trade from an RV while traveling across the country like a nomad (just for the summer)...you know...work anywhere and live anywhere ??? wrbtrader
“There is no career in trading. You get to the end of it and look back and wonder what have I accomplished” ————————— Every single one of my friends would trade their “career” for mine in a second. Them- Sitting in traffic, waiting for the bus, crowded train, etc just to get to work and bust their ass for a paycheck while someone above them gets rich off their work. Me- Home office. Answer to no one. Work for no one. Keep everything I make. Take off whenever I want. Oh and as far as “what have I accomplished”…how about generational wealth for your family! No career in trading. LOL. Yeah ok
Trading is Everyone's Dream. Imagine that....Not having to Work, but just staying home.....essentially printing money from your notebook computer or tablet. Mmmmmmm, There's a reason trading completely Skyrocketed during the Coronavirus of 2020/2021 ....people at home, combined with free money checks, combined with social media charlatans pitching their sexy courses....,the Perfect Storm, Building a product/business or so-called career....is vastly overrated, anyways. It used to be prestigious to be called a business owner or entrepreneur.....Nowadays, that means to be on social media selling overpriced bullshit to the brain dead sheep out there. Producing 2bit dumb, bright, hype video content for ad revenue. Having a career is nothing nowadays anyways....companies are just using you like a pimp uses his hoes. Morals, ethics, and legality has gone down the drain across society. Every workplace has a toxic culture.
The number of retail traders who create generational wealth (call it 50mm or more) strictly by trading must number less than 100 in America.
the majority of retail traders are momentum which means they are sucking up liquidity and not providing it. In the commodities space they add volatility to input products which creates inefficiencies in the real economy. I would argue that the active trading community as a whole is a net negative to the world, which is why no one cares when you don’t make money. On the flip side, we want our doctor to be well to do, because if he isn’t the next smart guy won’t be a doctor and we will die at the hands of an incompetent surgeon.
I think this is something every trader has asked themselves at some point. I also think it's what makes trading one of the hardest career choices. Just you vs yourself and the markets. We all became traders because of the freedom it can provide us. We don't have to be tied to anything. Then again what's the point of life if you don't have something to commit to. If you can't leave some sort of legacy. You'll notice many traders have side projects, refurbishing old cars (Ross Cameron) or building schools (Tim Sykes) two easy ones to point out. I think this is what it's all about. Trading, like money, is just a tool to really make your impact. Whatever that may be. Plus trading is fun as hell haha (jk serious face again).
Freedom? Yea, right. Everyone is here for one thing....because we are money hungry demons. There is no other so-called noble or pure pursuit to this endeavor of trading. Trying to generate money from nothing. Ross Cameron, Tim Sykes, Jason Bond, ....a lot of these guys/crooks and their trading schools....all have pending lawsuits against them by their former, conned, disgruntled, angry students. But....trading is fun as hell haha
