Hallo everyone.
Yes, trading can be profitable.
Very profitable.
The frankness of the two previous sentences is becouse I want to immediately dispel the doubts that surely many have about this job and that I often see expressed here in the forum.
I'm not here to sell anything or even share my system, sorry but I've worked hard too long to get where I am and no one has ever helped me along the way.
Of course it is not easy to be able to develop a system that gives consistent economic results, but it is possible to do so and, in the end, the final rules that are reached are very simple.
When this happens, when you understand that you have developed out your system, the satisfaction is such that it will pay you back in an instant for all the sacrifices made along the way, all the hours spent studying the charts, reading books or ForexFactory forums (which are extremely useful at first).
Because, let's face it, being a professional trader is the best job in the world because it doesn't set you limits.
What I can say is that the "trader" is a very personal job, not only because it will take away a lot of time that maybe you could devote more to family or friendships and that you will instead pass alone in front of a computer screen, but above all because even the system you arrive at later will be something very personal and discretionary.
Obviously I'm talking about my experience and my system is "mine" in the deepest sense of the term because in the end you will never become profitable by copying someone else's system because copying does not mean having understood the lesson, like at school.
The direct consequence of what I have just stated is that, again in my opinion, the only way to work as a trader is in a discretionary, not mechanical, way. So personally I will never entrust my money to a "robot" but, as foreseen by my system, the final decision whether to "pull the trigger" or not is always up to me.
I am also a programmer and over the years I have developed my own "set" of indicators that help me a lot in technical analysis and make me understand immediately the situation of that particular chart.
So, to top it off, don't despair if you're still in the phase where you can't "see" the light at the end of the tunnel because, sooner or later, you get there.
I hope I was helpful,
Happy trading everyone!
Giorgio.
P.S. sorry but English is not my mother tongue and I therefore made extensive use of "google translator".
