Then you should learn how properly, because the odds are stacked against you. I suggest starting out by reading the book, Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas.
I read many years ago.
You may want to re-read it with benefit of your new wannabe-trader perspective. How about Trade your Way to Financial Freedom by Van Tharp? Between those two, you should be ready to trade.
I did a quick read as I remember. I watched many seminars, listened several Mp3 and I don't remember nothing wrong about trading for a living on their approach.
Mark Douglas is about psychology of trading not aboout the system itself. Theories of mind.
VTharp is psychology and statistics.
I read dozens of books, but none is totaly helpful, you have to find your way and system.
