The first thing to realize is that if you can make a steady profit, then you can make a living by trading. In fact, it is the same as your own business. Your monthly income can be at least equal to your monthly income from your work, otherwise it is nothing to make a living by trading.

When I started trading, I thought I would make more money by trading, or as the title says, trading for a living. But after I had been trading for a while, I changed my mind.

First talk about the life of the professional traders, traders of every day life is text K line to the data, you may have a team, but the team, at the time of opening will not have too much communication, because before the opening, has plans to distribute all the good work, the spirit of opening after everyone is highly focused on market or operation, very little communication, and because most of the team professional attributes only male colleague, even have a female colleague, most also do data statistics, but also won't have too much overlap each other face to face, so the work can be very boring, work environment, basic is a traders room, Screens on all sides (lots of radiation) Generally speaking, professional traders are highly focused and can tolerate loneliness when they are open, so many experienced professional traders have less hair (under constant pressure). I'm not quite bald, but I've been using the computer for a long time and now have headaches (probably my own health), and I don't like dull work environments. So that changed my mind about being a professional trader.

The difference between trading for a living and professional trading is that you are just a person fighting, you have no team, you have no one else, you have only yourself, their own analysis, their own operation, no one to share the joy, the pain of loss can only bear their own, lonely and cold.

I continue to trade on my own, but at the same time I have my own job, and the two things don't conflict, and the two sides of the income, I feel good. Of course, there are some people who can stand loneliness, but I am not. I still like communication. Anyway, I also have the skills of trading and making money, so there is no need to make my life only trading and endure loneliness.
