It's ok to trade but keep your day or night job while you do it until you are established.

Don't let anyone ever tell you, "You can't"... Don't Quit.

To pay the house for my parents. All I want. Then I can die in peace

Trading has taught me how to just have one meal per day and how it feels to let the bank take over my house. That learning is priceless.

Trading has taught me a lot about divorce and who my real friends and family are😮

Quit quitting......learning from failure leads to success and is an individual experience for everyone

If anyone is wanting to trade don’t give up! This is my third year in and I got funded 50k still a work in progress but I’m hungry for it 😅

95% of traders lose cause they ride the rockets too long. You didn’t make any money unless you sell. I recently bought carnival shares at 11.32 sold and 11.94 and watched it go to 12.34/share after the sale. Gains are gains and you just gotta sell sometimes

Wtf who cares about knowing more than the average person if we end up quitting & not making money???

Trading for the freedom

They quit because they lose money…

I trade because im in the 5% group...i make money from the 95% group.

Honestly trading also helps find your true true self not what you thought was your true self. Comes with alot of knowledge even with failure.

I'm into trading because I like the constant state of change. Its never repeatitive. I suppose I lose novelty kind of quickly so repetitive things really drive me insane. Also, It almost feels like playing a chess game, planning out your next move and strategizing. It gives me a sense of joy.

100% agree. Trading is my passion and I enjoy it regardless of the results so I don't think I'll ever quit...

It’s very fun! And a great way to implement the skills I learned in my physics degree. Like coding, probability and statistics, but with a little bit of adrenaline in the mix. I also think that is perfect for a second stream of income, you don’t have to be a full time trader

Im in it because it’s a challenge that not many people can succeed with

To make a change in life, to improve my standards of leaving, to gain the time and financial freedom and to inspire and show others from my country(zw)🇿🇼 that trading is possible..... Thats y am into trading.

I am into it long term . i don't care about losing trades but long term ill smile.

Don’t trade for bragging rights..don’t lose money trade long and short on 2 stocks..

The money you lose is not a waste unless you learn alot. Remember, knowledge is the greates asset we have that keeps and flows money inside our pocket.

Emphasizing simplicity and leisure, I prioritize exploring life's options over settling. Focused on central banking, I aim for financial advancement, prioritizing wisely over immediate indulgences like luxury cars.

I trade because it allows me to save extra money for things I want to buy. I drive a nice car not because of my day job but because of my trading. I paid down all my credit card debt as well. Can or will I do it as my goto job,...probably not but I will always trade when there are things I like and don't want to wait 3 years to buy...like a nice watch...I also give 5 percent to a local charity. I can't afford more to give but that is ok its something and makes me feel good to do. Godbless you all.

Know about the economy doesn't mean you can earn money.

Psychology you need to understand where you are, I still trade a $10 account just to ground myself and keep my psychology in tact.

Don’t ever give up. I’m on my second year to be exact and I got funded $400k a few months ago.

Great point Austin. I always dive into new things, and even if I move on (better than seeing it as quitting), I leave with a pool of knowledge and world perspective I didn't have before. You're spot on with learning about how money actually moves in the world. I recommend anyone to attempt to trade for a time, at least with paper money and to not rely on it as their sole income. It is not for everybody and most will move on with other things and ditch trading. Some will see the potential and stick to it. The question these people should ask themselves is what state of mind are they in when they are trading? Are they greedy, anxious, and impatient? Or are they calm, calculated, adaptive, and far-sighted? Trading is a skill like any other, the beginning will be tough. You will have to learn what to do and what NOT to do. You will get burned many times, but learning why you got burned is the key to become an absolute trading machine. Be resilient and be collected.

Freedom...I want to be free financially.

I can attest to this. After a few years of on and off trading I honed in this last two years and after losing a piece of a big bank. I’ve finally got disciplined (which takes practice) and have become consistently profitable these past few months. But anyway I recently bought the house we were renting and I can tell you, I knew as much n more than the realtor and loan officer about the rates and movement of the rates and market. Gave a great advantage. So you definitely learn the ecomomy very well, if you research properly.

I'm into it because everybody can't do it. I'm into it for the freedom it brings. I'm into it because you can make a lot of money fast in a short amount of time. I don't recommend trading to anybody I let them choose.

This is so true, I feel like a savant now learning so much, yet knowing so little. I do this to achieve real freedom and have more time for my wife and daughter

Because I don't want to be stuck to the employment loop. 😂

The 95% of traders who lose, should be aware of stop-loss hunting by the big money players.

Freedom. If I need to wake up and be clocked in working for another person for the rest of my life I’d go crazy. The world is here for you to experience it

The most important thing is you'll learn about yourself more than any regular person learn in their whole life..

Still waiting for why to quit trading

Knowledge you gain about economy and stock markets

I'm a long term investor only and it has been an awesome wealth builder! Personally never tried day trading or options but I don't have to watch the markets either. I simply buy and hold for yrs and I also earn dividends.

But at what cost

Trading is one of the hardest skills to earn easy money. And your gain is limitless

This is very true. It does teach you a lot about the economy and capital and how it moves throughout.

💫 Success in trading isn’t about intelligence; it’s about mastering yourself and your emotions. 💫 I often find it baffling how people expect to master trading without prior experience. Like ANY other profession, you can’t just walk in and excel from day one. It takes dedication, study, practice, and accepting mistakes. Frankly, expecting profitability within six months or even a year is unrealistic. It’s essential to start small, protect your capital, and focus, self-control and discipline. Anyone with a normal IQ can eventually learn the trade, but the winners will be the one who mastered self-control.

Bro it's about freedom bro..some people trade their time for more money..and a trader is a crazy person who trade their money for more time

Well, 95% failure rate just discouraged me…🤷🏽‍♂️

Its for the freedom of it all

It’s not that 95% lose, it’s that they quit. Just don’t quit, don’t be negative, don’t be impatient, don’t give up.

I like trading because it give us thrill

Agree!every losing trade is a great xperience

I got into trading for many things, such as a lifestyle that i wanted, but mostly how challenging it is that my previous job was not doing for me. So very true i lost a lot of money my first 4 years but now is becoming a booster of income whenever I travel.

This is why I’m into it!

I have lost a ton of money day & swing trading, but ya I learned about market cycles within everything.

I've recently started and have been doing pretty well. Maybe a new perspective might change things for the better. I just talk to people about how they are changing spending habits dealing with stagflation. I then invest in companies related to what people would deem valuable under a tight budget. There's enough fluctuations that I can make small but consistent gains. Im not going for big risks just a fun little side hobby that makes money instead of spending it.

As long as you dont fully gamble i think is ok

It's not hard once you know the secrets Noone teaches you in a book that's why 95 percent fail. I got into trading because it was a childhood dream when I was young my dad took me by the nyse.

Wondering how many school teachers quit after 2 years 😊

Work in Trading to both escape and not live in the rat race because I don't want to be poor.

Personal development! Trading Made me into a better man.

I have been at a trading desk for banks and institution for more than 20 years. However, I realised that I have more experience and knowledge than 90 percent of the population. So after I sold my business recently, I realised that I should be doing my own trading because I have a head start of 20 years ahead of all the new traders. So why not?

Have a strategy, be consistent, and read up on trading psychology (accept losses). Overly simplified, but that's the gist of it! Those three things you need to master in order to succeed.

I don’t trade yet cuz I don’t have the Capital to do so. But I am working on Getting it!

Well at first I was triggered by “quit after two years if it doesn’t work out”, but hey, everyone is trading their time for this new skill. So it’s only reasonable for them to speculate their success.

Never having to deal with a crappy boss: another reason to trade.

I am in it for the challenge. I love challenges.

Someone got inspired by their lib arts teacher today

For that lifestyle change. I h8 working for the man. I am now working for myself.

I trade to live a comfortable life and to have freedom

Man bro. I'm about to pause on swinging because after having some grabs Intraday. Starting to miss it. Fast money 😂😂😂

I agree , I'm profitable but I'm not making much more than I was in construction. However I have gained a vast knowledge of what's really going on with our financial system since I changed professions

I’m learning all I need to know about trading. I would like to join a message group with experienced traders.

Most businesses fail too. Most people are losers. Be a winner

you'll learn everithig but winning...the learning process is just a panoramic side tracking strategy of the market.

No lies detected

Because I’m good at it

I just want to try something different. I’m so tired of being poor. I know Trading is not a solution to my problem. But its really something that interest me. I’m a councilman. And i dont have money. I dont want to steal from the people so im trying everything i can.

You ask people to move into trading showing them your big gains not the trades you lost big on, don’t show them your portfolio in order to sugar coat the lifestyle and magic key to beat the matrix, but in reality you know that someone’s loss is someone’s profit. Lot of idiots in the market will not necessarily make you genius but in the long run that habit of gambling in the market will help the 5-6 big gains community to move upto 10-12 big gains.

Not everyone’s gonna make it… if you’re ok with that, go a head and learn. Good luck.

Im gonna be part of that 5%

Working corrections..4 16-hour days gets old. Also, my 4 year old daughter doesn't like my work schedule either.

I'm into trading bcoz i realised being a Trader is like a Spiritual Calling... Trading is not for anyone and I'm planning to be a Trader for the rest of my life.

It's the hardest job in the world and it's not meant for everyone. It's a journey towards self development and seeing the corruption's LIVE streams.

Because trading is a win or lose situation. The best traders lose sometimes,so it is gambling to get more money that u didn't put in .

Better get a membership for library.

At A university, there are multiple top name universities in Texas

Im in to it to prove im worth it. To prove im not in 95%. To prove im not a quitter. To prove i can do what i set my mind to. And most important. Not to prove to anyone. Don't care about opinions. Prove to myself. Don't advise noone to start trading though. You most likely will loose and give up anyway.

I'm here not as a trader, but trying to be an investor. I made the mistake of not building a 401k/IRA early in life so I am trying to make up for a lot of lost ground. So I am not quitting. My quality of life at retirement age may depend on it.

Great answer

NICE Congrats to you

Price only go up or down & don’t over risk. Don’t know why everybody think trading is quantum physics. Should technically be able to guess and profitable if you use good risk to reward.

Honestly.. am I the only person who doesn't want to be a "funded trader" ?

I'm finally making a living day trading after 6 years. It really feels good to be a part of the 5% that make it. Believe in yourself and don't give up, stay hungry and track your trades.

I ask myself, what am I doing as a trader which is a real benefit to the world or market? In my opinion, I contribute to liquidity, which creates an efficient market. This helps investors trade at a fair value. I help to eliminate arbitrage of stocks and I help to stabilize price of goods, from jewelry to cereal. Would I do it for free? Probably not, but I do enjoy it, so it would be hard to give up.

I enjoy the stradgy challenge

I'm a retired veteran and Nurse at 57. I'm learning right now because I'm disciplined, smart, and I'm totally sitting around all day in the bar, drinking, eating and waiting for death.

As most people do lose money in trading I believe the reason why they lose money is because they quit. There's a lot of people that become profitable after 5, 6 or 7 years.

Where do people learn?

Tryna get out of poverty.. jump to middle class.. fuck the rich life just want to be stable

Most fail to me because they focus on day trading when they should be swing trading. Swing trading allows for better results but less gains. I think most want the home runs instead of taking the bunts.

i lost 6000 in two days its my biggest lost ever , but the think is... i started with my 1130 usd. its need constancy and involvement... give up on your comfort zone for a while. then u will taste the success.. try paper trading start with 500 usd or 1000, when u make that double, again start from 500 or 1000 its will teach you lots of things.

I got funded $100k after 7 months

What am I gonna do with that information?
