It's an addiction, a curse and a disease all wrapped into a nice and cosy piped dream.

I am afraid that Mingary here is right. If we are lucky , but only if we are lucky one user from those ho posted here will reach that goal ( that let`s face it we all after); so be focus and when you have losses, take it and move to next trade so you can be that guy ho reach the goal.
Here is a little marketing to get you fell better:

maybe that's why you haven't reached your goal.. because you see it as an addiction and a pipe dream instead of a passion, a job you love to do

I don't. Want to be rich that is. Comfortable is good.

I'm not trading because I think I'm gonna hit the jackpot or get rich quick. Reality can be quite different. That's why there are so many commercial operators on this forum selling stuff. Because they didn't get rich from trading.

Trading is what I do at the moment but it was from working (and making a couple of investments) that gave me a good base capital to be able to trade. Not every boss is an arsehole and sometimes you just have to get a job.

Life can't be one big party.

when i just started i wanted to be rich, as everyone in his first days. After a time, I just want to be able to live from this. For me trading is the way to be free, and have no boss.

Once i head some words, but i don't know if i will be able to translate it correctly: " Trading is the hardest way to win money easysly".

What I seek with my green pips is merely to be my own boss. Richness is not a compulsory goal, albeit it is a tremendous plus. Each day I strive for betterments concerning my trading style and the only real goal for me is freedom.

I want to be rich because life is hard. You go through emotional ups and downs throughout life which are unavoidable in many cases. With this in mind, I don't want financial worries on top of all this. Being rich is one less worry on your mind.

Freedom to do what I want, when I want.

I don't care to be rich, I just want to have enough so that I can take care of myself and provide a comfortable life for my eventual family. More than that is just icing on the cake.

Yes, I'd agree that $10M qualifies as "rich". For me, "rich" is when you can live comfortably off a completely passive income. But I expect that many folk set their sights much higher than I do.

However, the statistics apparently tell us that the probability of succeeding at all at forex, let alone attaining an ROE that's capable of turning $1k into $10M within 10 years, is very small. I just read a reference to a research paper claiming that only 4 traders in every 1,000 are able to string together 4 consecutive winning quarters. If that's...
I'd have to say that's a fairly pessimistic research paper. Not denying the possibility of it being correct. I'll tell you one thing though i only buy lottery tickets for my mom hoping one day her dreams will come true. I read myself that 95% of people who are asked how they will become rich say the lottery.
My trades are 100% profitable 65% of the time!

Why do you want to be Rich?

since thousands of years ago, humans tend to be wealthy,, or richer than the others,, with the goal of mastering another people,, or a decent living,, or can feed their family,, or can give,, or can have a happy life, and so forth, ,
because of human genes or human instincts tend towards it

For myself i do not trade to be rich, i do it for the excitement of the game. Don't get me wrong i did start thinking "i am going to make s*** loads of money and be happy" but at the end, just make enough to do not get worried and give me peace of mind.

And at the end, what i was looking for is a job which is not the same every day "market condition", and challenging, and be my own boss.


PS: Still secretly searching to make loads of money , (of course), and be retire very soon. "dream when you get us"

Happy trading
