not sure why im not a billionaire trading against the millions or turkeys out there was in a room on youtube where the mod bought AI on the way up at 104 , it hit 109 and halted I told them would be back under 100 in seconds on the reopen BOOM right back down <100 when i actually see traders do their thing in realtime, its almost always an amateur show
i disagree. Other professions have a high certainty of success. That is if you do the right things the right way, you have a 95%+ chance you will be at least moderately successful. Trading has a very high degree of randomness. That is if you do the right things the right way, you only improve your chance of being successful modestly (if you are lucky to over 50%) Also, Investing is very different from trading. Its probably as difficult to beat the market on a risk adjusted basis as it is for a trading account to beat the risk free rate; however, its much easier for an investor to earn a positive return compared to a trader because investments pay dividends and the economy is always improving.
Yes but most of those other professions have significant barriers to entry along the way, formal education, grades, degrees, certifications, licenses etc. With trading, slam some dinero into an account and instant "trader". Will "success" be random for the unprepared?...Damn straight!
