5 reasons why you are not making a living from your trading

You did not finish your argument why I was not right.
Your wrong, the more capitalized you are the more markets and more strategies you can trade. True, generally no trader should be trading in a market where they move the price. Here is a simple example: If you have 10K account you have limited ability to diversify. Most will likely trade 1 or 2 products. If you have 200K account you can diversify your portfolio and trade more strategies, more markets = Better Portfolio Risk Management.

Yup I'm a newbie here on this forum, so take it with a grain of salt, but I have traded since 2003, and 10 years full time at a prop desk up until 2019 and done well for myself. I have never traded a market where I moved the price, whether it was Energy Futures, Cracks, Rate Futures, Equities, or Currencies, whatever. Traded 20-30 products/strategies at a time, discretionary and grey box.

Good year to be in the markets, especially stocks. Happy trading!

I think the main problem is your strategy. Change your strategy and try to trade and earn money.

5 reasons why you are not making a living from your trading

because you are missing one or all of the following rules:
1. simple
2. systematic
3. do not assume
4. critic
5. do not panic

that is all you need; not just in trading but in life generally

i think all what has been written here is right

It helps to trade with funds you don't need from a position of stability. "Needing" the money is going to make you take trades you should stay far away from.

Very true. These are some little things which turn out to be really challenging if not taken care of.

It is not dificult. You can arb, you can trade news. That's forex. If you walk out and look for a smarter way, you risk more than the average reward on the long-term.

Well I think most people not making a living on trading are mostly due to the following reasons:

1. Don't have a sound technical knowledge
2. Over-leveraging
3. Impatient
4. Don't have a good trading plan
5. Don't have a good recovery plan after losing.
6. Treat FX trading as a get rich quick scheme.
