The point is that there are a gigantic number of other things you could be doing to get rich. So, why precisely did you choose to trade? Actually, since there ARE an almost infinite number of possibilities, your choice to use Trading as the way to make your fortune represents an opportunity cost, in that since you are spending your time studying and practicing Trading, you therefore don't have the same time available to be studying other subjects. These alternative opportunities might also have brought you riches, perhaps even more so than Trading.
So, ponder the same question again, perhaps a little more deeply this time… “WHY do you trade?”
If you’ve been a day trader for any reasonable period of time,
you will almost certainly have come across that age old adage
that says, “The Trend Is Your Friend”. Well, I have an important
announcement to make about that right here…
Let's talk today about some of the main benefits of online trading from home. For me, one of the best things it allows me to do is to finally be free from the rat race. No more daily commute, waiting on freezing cold overcrowded platforms for trains that are often late, and then packed when they finally turn up.
Trading financial markets is like any other discipline; the more you study it and become an expert in it, the better you get. Too many people want to jump into online trading and blow their money before they even know what they are doing. They perceive forex trading or stock market trading as a quick and easy way to riches and figure they can jump in with minimal preparation.
This is why beginner traders are susceptible to the latest forex trading or commodity trading “sure-fire” system that some guru out there is selling. After all, what could be easier than forking out some cash and buying a trading system “guaranteed” to make you big profits?
