🚨 The Harsh Truth About Trading 🚨
Many people start trading thinking it's a quick way to get rich overnight. The reality? Most end up losing money, especially in day trading.
Peter Brandt, a veteran trader who has been profitable since 1975, shared what is truly necessary before you can even consider becoming a full-time trader:
✅ You have had at least two consecutive years making over 50% average profit.
✅ Your capital comes from profits you have already made, not from salary or borrowed money.
✅ You have made at least 1,000 trades — experience is more important than hype.
✅ You have 2 years of living expenses saved, completely separate from your trading funds.
✅ You have mentors or fellow traders who can keep you disciplined and catch your attention when you lose focus.
The message is simple:
👉 Trading is not a shortcut. It is not a game.
👉 Without preparation, it can burn your money and your time.
Be patient. Be structured. Be disciplined. Only then can trading become a long-term career, not just a gamble.
💡 Respect the process, and the profits will come.
