A trader explains why most people fail at trading and what separates winners from the rest. The core advice: invest in your own training and education to move beyond entry-level wages and build real earning potential.
If you want to be good at this, because this is not an entry level job, you will make 15 bucks an hour, 20 bucks an hour going on a Starbucks. If you're not making even that much as a trader, you've been at this for more than six months. Get the training that you need. Invest in yourself, level yourself up, start making 50, 100, 500 bucks an hour. That's what traders make, that's what we make as traders. And it's really cool. And when you scale up, your pay rate goes up. A lot of people I know come to me, they've been training for years, still not even making minimum wage.
