I am a network engineer and this was my first career passion in life and it is going extremely well. My second passion is Forex and Futures. I would like to eventually open my own trading room and set up and manage the network, leasing out trading spaces for people.

I could not just trade full time I would reep the negativities of lack of social interaction trading all the time. Maybe I can trade part time and the rest could be social life. I still want to open a trading room here in Florida

I come from a group of about 15-20 full time traders, when i say this that is thier primary income, however every last one of them including myself has other "business". some to keep occupied and some for capital shelter.

If you are an informed trader you dont have to spend alot of time with research due to the sources that are available. We also dont spend time trying to find the grail..

once you get to a certian level the %ROT will level off to an exceptable level only taking A+++ trades. (that are not over-leveraged).

I am not a full time trader yet but am getting close to making the move. I am in both the Jacko and James16 groups and they have been important in teaching me how to trade properly. I will switch to f/t professional trading in maybe six months.

thank you.

I trade the Jacko system. but i trade other pairs and and i trade both long term and short term. The system is important but learning the way to trade is more important. Jacko is an ace trader and an ace`teacher. And now a good friend.

Am a trader trading forex for a living. I been professional and my only income source for about 10 months. I am one of a small bunch of professional traders, theres 10 or 11 of us, that are all Jacko group traders. Most of us have changed our lives and become traders. Two or three were existing pro traders. We trade more pairs than Wayne and we trade some shorter time frames but the basic systems are the same. There are some other pro traders in Jackos group but they keep to themselves.
Trading. I am loving it.
Can you message me. Interested in prof trading group

Ive been trading full time for 5 years now, it took me a good 1-2 years before that watching the market almost 20 hours a day to gain the experience and knowledge of the market.

Remember sound money management is the key to being confident with the market. You should feel out of control or lost when being a full time trader everything must be planned ahead of time before you execute a trade.

Trading full time at home has been the most rewarding thing ever!

Very difficult to make a living out of forex early in forex trading career.

I am 6 months old in forex and making profits but it is not enough to even pay my regular bills.

I really want to finish my studies fast and get a proper career oriented full time job. I trade on a weekly basis, so i can trade with a full time job.

Very tough life. Jobs are hard to come by and due to forex trading, i have delayed my 3 papers.

I'm curious if there are profitable private full time forex traders using trading robots. There are FF threads with EAs that look very promising.

Do you trade profitably using forex robots?

Do you use them in your full time trading?

Best to all,

Making trading your sole source of income will put you in an early grave. I've done it, been successful at it, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone long term. I'd say learn the business, build capital, then diversify your income stream. Earning meaningful returns is a hell of a lot less stressful when your life doesn't depend on it.

I think you should try doing a "Google Books" search on
MILLIONAIRE TRADERS
by Boris Schlossberg and Kathy Lien.

Read through some of the sample chapters and see what you think.

...And no, I'm not on this elite list yet. When I am, you won't be able to
shut me up about it.

I am a full time trader but it took a few years to feel comfortable with my abilities. I am relieved I can do this full time.
Hope everyone has a profitable week

I've been a full time trader for a few months now, and it was a very steep learning curve. As Darkstar mentioned, it can be very tough relying on moves for income.
