Yes, I believe it is, provided that a couple of conditions are met: sufficient capital need to be available (50K should be enough to start), sufficient time (at least 1 year full time if you are lucky) need to be put into the works as there is no shortcut to learn how to make good money trading...

you are half right, as I sure as hell can't teach trading as it cannot be taught but only learned, however I am pretty happy with the doing it part. Enjoy teaching/scamming, be taught/scammed...

Scam... if you can trade you DO NOT teach...

Now I'll say something that will likely surprise you but while 99% of the traders will tell you that you need to keep your losers small and let the winner run, I have become consistently profitable doing just the opposite: take small profit often (95% of the time) and sometimes take a bigger...

Yep, Gotcha got it right, if you can't trade you teach... so beware

You need not compete with Pro, you just need to follow their tracks and profit with them. In Fact I would say that the Retail trader has way more flexibility than Pro and can make way more money (in % of the account size, of course) than the Pro. But, there is always a BUT... you need to put in...

You are so good with paper trading that you make money over the weekend? WOW! by the way, I am pretty happy with my real money gains, day in, day out. Nothing stellar but enough to live by (I am full time trader) and then some. Good luck

mah, the OP does not even deserve a reply, making money paper trading and showing off, ego problem? bah...

First and foremost: don't read books, follow trading courses and avoid the crowd, as if you do like most of the traders you end up like them, losing. Paper trade for as long as it is necessary to understand how price move, best done by focusing on one market and one instrument. Get to know how...

As long as there will be people/institutions trying to make money trading there will be competition, even between AIs, and hence space for traders to make money.

I think we are all missing the point here, the OP imho has no business trading especially if he need the gains to live in his current state of mind. Trading is hard enough when you don't need the money and you are in good mental health, doing so being depressed, undercapitalized, and needing the...

There is something that works on any market that works now will work in the future and surely enough would have worked in the past. No edge just simple observation

If you can't answer this question you're likely far from seeing the obvious that becomes so only after you can answer the first part of this very question: why?

I am a discretionary trader my edge is me, myself and I...

Once you figure it out trading becomes relatively boring so between one trade and the other we kill time on ET. I could explain in details how I trade and it would be of very little use to you as that would be my way to trade and more likely than not it was not work for you. You need to find...

I wouldn't even consider trading for 10% a year, it would not be worth my time... And my time is the most valuable commodity

Let's see, if I make 1% a day (on average) on a capital of 50K, this means that I make 500$ a day. Assuming I trade 4 day a week on average (I like to travel and do other things not trading) I will still have 4*4*500 = 8k a month, now, even after tax (about 5.5K), that more than I need to live...

If you do it for the wrong reasons, you get the wrong results...

well, I would say that, at least for me the difficult part was understanding the question, especially with the first sample, once the question was understood the solution was simple enough. so I would say that the common theme is getting the correct framing for the question, then the math will...

Yeah, you are all right, I was joking... what a lough 1% a day... still, wouldn't that be nice if you could do it? hahahaha!
