It’s hard to meet someone successful because they’re all too busy studying the markets. You’ll mostly find newbies hunting for information and spammers fishing for desperate losers to sell systems and programs to.
But people who depend on retail forex trading as the primary income source do exist, otherwise I’m screwed.
I work for a prop firm. All of my colleagues do pretty well for themselves. I trade the firms money and they pay me a cut of earnings and I also trade my own retail account. I think a lot of prop traders do this. At least myself and the others I know. Successful retail traders are out there. They usually have worked in the financial industry at some point in their careers prior.
Not sure if looking in the mirror counts.
I have met a few professional traders, my assumption is that they are successful.
Great advice. Im a new trader just blew my account and its not easy to loose not only the money but just loosing, you start asking a lot of bad questions.
I’m gonna take your patience advise very seriously, I was entering the charts and start looking for the right trade and forcing my self into an entry. Asking myself what I did wrong because all my setup rules are in place and still the market going the other way, always find my self late on the trend or on the other side of the entry.
Thank you for your advise we rookies need a lot of support and I mean someone to share your looses and successes, others opinions really matter ……thank you !
