DislikedI don't. Want to be rich that is. Comfortable is good.
I'm not trading because I think I'm gonna hit the jackpot or get rich quick. Reality can be quite different. That's why there are so many commercial operators on this forum selling stuff. Because they didn't get rich from trading.
Trading is what I do at the moment but it was from working (and making a couple of investments) that gave me a good base capital to be able to trade. Not every boss is an arsehole and sometimes you just have to get a job.

Dislikedwhen i just started i wanted to be rich, as everyone in his first days. After a time, I just want to be able to live from this. For me trading is the way to be free, and have no boss.
Once i head some words, but i don't know if i will be able to translate it correctly: " Trading is the hardest way to win money easysly".Ignored
DislikedYes, I'd agree that $10M qualifies as "rich". For me, "rich" is when you can live comfortably off a completely passive income. But I expect that many folk set their sights much higher than I do.
However, the statistics apparently tell us that the probability of succeeding at all at forex, let alone attaining an ROE that's capable of turning $1k into $10M within 10 years, is very small.

Dislikedbecause I just want to have enough money to buy all the cookies and brownies i want for life!!!Ignored
DislikedFor myself i do not trade to be rich, i do it for the excitement of the game. Don't get me wrong i did start thinking "i am going to make s*** loads of money and be happy" but at the end, just make enough to do not get worried and give me peace of mind.
And at the end, what i was looking for is a job which is not the same every day "market condition", and challenging, and be my own boss.
PS: Still secretly searching to make loads of money , (of course), and be retire very soon. "dream when you get us"
Happy...Ignored
