I think everyone in this forum have dreams of trading and making their millions. We are all here, afterall, to find financial freedom. There is going to be a lot of heartache along the way, that's for sure. And let's face it, a lot of people were just not cut out to be trading, it takes a special person to fail multiple times, and keep coming back for more. And for others, they need to learn the biggest lesson from trading and use it, cut their losses and find another profession. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I've gone back to get a job when I knew I didn't have an edge that is sustainable or lucrative enough. And edges just doesn't appear out of nowhere, you have to be in the right place in the right time, or a moment where you stumble on something, sometimes it takes a long time and have the right connections. Sometimes, it's just pure luck. Sometimes, it takes a lot of screen time. I'm fortunate enough to be in the right place and know the right people at the right time.

That's the thing with trading, it's not about putting in the time, you can put in 5 years and still get nothing. Where the next guy can come along in 5 minutes and find a exploitable edge. So it is a very frustrating endeavor.

My 1st million? I would diversify into other investment tools not relating to stocks or forex. LOL. I always think like a businessman nowadays.
