People ask me many time if they can live only from the trades they make every day, and my answer is always, yes!! But my advice for you and for everyone is that you have to see the trading life just as a complement in the income making and not as the only source of income. Don’t get obsessed with the prices, if they come up or come down. I think it have to be a complement of you basic activity. It makes richer and fertile have differents source of income and not take refuge in the trading just to make money.
It takes virtues to be a good trader like perseverance, methodology, discipline and knowledge. This virtues will help you live from trading is this is what you want. But now, what really is important is the the time you spent making trades see reflected in your profits. Sometimes it takes day and even week to make your investment growth.
