Disliked{quote} Another display of faulty logic and marketing platitude. Think about it - many thousands of young men want to be highly paid super star footballers: few make it, even if they practice every week for years, but you don't hear of the many failures and frustrated ambitions that lie behind the few successes. But some idiot then says, " Yeah -Joe Bloggs is a top class footballer or rich retail trader, so you can too!" And conveniently omitting the fact that the greater likelihood is that the person will join the dustbin of failures hidden behind...Ignored
But still like to counter it with an idea to play around.
Given you won't be the top 10, or even top 1000 football player or trader, because you don't get that special talent...true most probably...
Let's use for example driving a car.
There are race car drivers, stunt drivers, but also regular drivers who just to the basics successfully ( no accident) day in and on.
With the more time driving ( screentime) the more experience they gain, and more confidently do their daily routine.
Won't drive in F1 or NASCAR, but still in time learn to drive safely not only in sunny days, but in rain, in snow, in fog...
Sure most of the trader wouldn't be able to mentally and emotionally handle millions or billions, but most might be perfectly capable to make regular income of some quantity.
Knowing your talent's limitation, and choosing a corresponding realistic goal...the balance between being a loser or top trader, somewhere.
Trading is luckily not all black and white, there is pretty much endless variation between top to bottom, even between profitable and profitable.
Very few takes a entry level job at a fortune500 company and say in 12-18 month I will be the CEO...
Should a trader really open a 200$ account and claim to become millionaire from it?
Each for their own, by there are plenty levels of successful trading too, just need to find that one fits a person well.
there is always, always another trade!!
