Quote from FXTraderWill:
If you didn't develop the system yourself, after spending hundreds (thousand?) of hours of screen time refining it and learning how the markets move, you won't be able to successfully trade it.
"Hey, I am a dentist who's extremely successful - I run my own dental business and have hundreds of clients whose teeth I work with. I went to four years of college and another 6 years of medical and dental school, and after paying off those loans for another 12 years, I'm finally beginning to be financially indepdendent with my dental business. But I can sell you the secrets of cleaning teeth for only $249! After you learn my unique gum-cleaning method, plak will no longer be a part of your patients' lives! You can have your own successful dental business like me in no time!"
I'll bet you wouldn't buy that ad, because you know how much work and time is required to succeed as a dentist.
Why would trading be any different? It pays more than dentistry...
