A lover as well
If you can make £12 on the majority of days (no matter how many hours it takes you) and your losing days don't set you back more than a whopping £4 - £6, you should get very, very excited.
Scale it up. You're going to be very rich.
On reflection though, I'm not sure if that is what you are asking. If you are just asking would someone work if £12 was the most they could make...the answer for me and I imagine most people, would be emphatically no!
In fact, if the wages were the same, I would probably rather work in MacDonalds than trading. As much as I love the game for the game, the money is the major perk for me more so than all the other reasons that are touted by people trying to get you into this game.
Playing devils advocate for the moment, none of the "perks" of trading are really perks at all - for me anyway.
1. The perk of being able to work from home and be your own boss
I find working from home lonely and depressing. Yes you are free to get up at 10am if you want and if you do you probably missed a move which will cost you later. Yes you are free to go for a 2 hour coffee break if you want. It's really fun sitting in Starbucks on your own. I know. I do it every day. Being my own boss doesn't compensate me for having no one to see since all my mates are in a 9-5. Plus, when you f*ck up - you don't have a boss to b*tch about. You have to take all the responsibility yourself. Hence you better get used to the headache of constant beratement and thinking/analysing your own mistakes.
2. The perk of not needing to rent an office
No instead, I buy a PC that sets me up back almost £2,500, then you rent Ran, you rent CQG, you pay for Bloomberg, you pay for exchange access, you pay for spreads...that sh*t alone sets you back more than an office in Mayfair from which to run your little start-up.
3. You can trade from anywhere in the world
Yes you can theoretically sit on a beach sipping Pina Coladas and trading. I wonder just why none of the big traders I know aren't doing that? Infact, how many traders are doing that, apart from perhaps Rathcoole?
Anyway, apologies, I'm off on a tangent.
Working in MacDonalds (for the same wage) would be much more sociable, much less emotionally draining and have more perks.
Honestly.
