The evidence speaks for itself unless you live under a rock- I think maybe 1% of Greg Seckers alumni have made a go of trading. There are other trainers.Every website warns that 80% of CFD traders are losers. ( They don't say what a winner is-presumably someone who still has their £6k. ) However-go to any of the money shows and ask around- the profitable guys are the ones who are clever in stock selection and understand that shares are for the long term. I trade FTSE options which have a lifespan, so I don't need my own time horizon. I've only met profitable options traders.I think it would be very helpful if you would expand on your view and what this is based on and add some context. I.e
FX is rubbish because....,
Indices are less rubbish (but still rubbish) because...,
Directional trading is rubbish because...
The only sensible way to trade is X because....
(and maybe even) The only way to trade is X and this is how I do it...
So in my experience, knowing many like myself who tried full time to trade forex, personal evidence paints a clear picture.
I cannot post my website here but out of 160 trades(one every week) I think there are about 5 small losers. Not because I'm good, but because options allow you to be wrong and still make money. I've been trading badly but profitably since the last century, and this is my experience. I wish everyone who tries to trade, my very best wishes and hope they can cut it. The odds, sadly are massively against them
