    401k for short-duration trading account (tax benefits)?

    penalty is 10% on the total withdrawal(if earlier than 59.5), not on the capital gain. They don't care how much capital gain, the only thing that matters is how much is the distribution. Listen to Robert, he is the expert.

    I have lost over half of my net worth/life savings trading forex.

    Losing multiple of $50000, or 10 times of it, doesn't guarantee consistent profitable. It is a tough fact.

    Why waste your time?

    Why waste your time?

    Lets put it in this way, if you have a system that gives you signals that are 95% probability to be winner, then if you enter 10 to 20 trades in a day with the same risk limit, you are surely to have a profitable day. For a single trade, there is only probability, that is correct.
