Can anyone be trained to trade for a living? I would say a LOUD yes.... and no.
A great deal can be “taught†like a working strategy. But a lot cannot be taught. One trader will have great success and another just a little success trading the same strategy.
There is something that some traders have and others don’t. That doesn’t mean you can’t be trained to make money trading; many can, but the level of success varies greatly. The love of trading has a lot to do with it. How you think and feel about money plays a big part in your trading also. A trader must understand that there are no absolute systems in the trading arena. Trading systems will give you the advantage but time and study have to be put in to become a good trader. Planning, practice, disciple, control over your emotions and greed, and a fresh outlook on life can go a long way to determine the level of success you may have.
There are many good trading systems, and trader must find the one that works for them. If you find a flaw in a system move on to something else. We would caution you not to spend much valuable trading time trying to perfect something that is flawed to start with. Find a trading strategy that fits you then learn how to use it. Do not spend time trying to change it or perfect it. Spend your energies learning how to trade, and then trade.
