Do You Understand The Hidden Truths Behind Trading For A Living

By Peter Skonctuedt

If you are one of those people that do not normally trade to make a living then the first question you will put to someone that does is how they succeed in trading for a living. Of course, others might argue the fact that what constitutes a living for one person may not be the same for another person. For example, for many of us making a living would mean earning fifty thousand dollars a year while for others it could mean earning ten times that amount.

Today, there are millions of people that are becoming traders and who are trading in stocks that are worth many trillions of dollars. However, at the same time it has to be said that judging how the market is going to move in a few hours will prove to be a particularly difficult task.

When it comes to understanding how to trade to make a living you need to also understand that sometimes you might lose money and other times you will make money. Even the most experienced traders lose money; so, it would be wrong to expect that you will always succeed in making profits year in and year out.

All you need to do is place a trade and type in a stop-loss order and then spend some time doing what you like. As long as the trade moves in a desirable direction you will always succeed in making money from your trade. Another benefit to trading in stocks for a living is that you can put in a one-time effort that will then help you earn money over and over again.

The trouble is that most people do not have the required discipline to remain focused on their objective for a time span of five or ten or even twenty years and so will give up if things do not work out right for them. To succeed you need to behave like a person trying to win an Olympic gold medal or become a world renowned surgeon or even a Kirov ballerina.

Even if you do behave like a would-be Olympic champion there is still no guarantee that you will succeed because even a single mistake at any time can put paid to all your efforts and causes a huge loss of money to you.

The only trouble is that there are also drawdowns which are unavoidable. The smart traders are aware of this and so will, instead of actually indulging in trading will offer to teach people how to trade and earn money out of a living.

Most people that have succeeded in trading for a living have realized that they do not need to monitor the market on an hourly basis. What is required is managing their trades for between ten to sixty minutes on a daily basis. But remember what an old adage says and that is that you may be able to do anything in your life; just don't attempt to do everything because that is a surefire means of inviting failure instead of success. - 23200
