Guides · Easy money, trading and scams: the truth
Can you make a living from trading?
In short: It is very rare. You would need large starting capital, steady monthly gains (which almost nobody achieves) and the ability to survive losing months with no income. Many who "live off trading" online actually live off selling courses.
The maths
To draw $2,000 a month from $20,000 you would need 10% a month, every month. The best professional funds don't do that.
Losing months
Even a method that wins over a year can lose several months in a row. Without other income, pressure pushes you to take more risk.
The real business model online
Courses, subscriptions and affiliate links to brokers that pay them based on their clients' activity.
