DislikedSo the bottom line is, can you earn a living purely from trading forex (no teaching whatsoever), or even get rich from forex alone?Ignored
What you need to remember is that most of us are self-taught traders, and we are competing against some very highly skilled and trained traders, banks, hedge fund traders etc etc, all of whom have 'paid their dues' and been schooled and mentored by some even more highly skilled people.
It is silly and arrogant to think that anyone can download MT4 and start competing, and winning against traders of considerable calibre and who are trading eye watering amounts. It is the same as saying that I can go to my local engineering supplier and purchase the best welding equipment available, read a few books and then expect to gain a highly paid job as a welder. No one would even dream of trying to that, for obvious reasons, right? So why does anyone expect to download MT4, throw a few dollars at it and make large amounts of money straight away?
The bottom line is yes, it is possible to earn a living from trading, but it takes thousands of hours of learning, without much help from anyone else, and there is no guarantee that you will 'graduate.' Some people can weld, and some will never be able to.
Doing what you like is Freedom. Liking what you do is Happiness.
