How to make Trading a lifetime career?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

A rich man (or a person with enough money) can enter the trading markets in either two ways:

a. As an investor
b. As a gambler

Unluckily if you enter or like to participate in commodity markets/ stock markets, you will not certainly make a lifetime career “as a gambler”.

The primary reason is simple mathematics. If you have $ 1,000,000 net worth assets (personal) and will trade like a gambler, this is how it happens (figures are example only):

Probability of winning: 50% (this can even be considered as the best case scenario, some trades winning percentage can have below 50% realistically)

Probability of Loss = 1 – Probability of winning
Probability of Loss = 1- 50% = 50%

Average win per trade = $100
Average loss per trade = $500 (more…)
