Trading requires honest self-assessment about whether you want it as a side income or full-time career path. The foundations of successful trading extend beyond technical skills to include sustainability planning, family responsibilities, and financial safety nets.
• Learning the basics and finding a reputable broker is just the starting point
• Having an edge means being right more often than wrong over the long term
• Traditional careers span 25-30 years – can you sustain trading that long?
• Self-employed traders must create their own pension, insurance, and emergency funds
• Family responsibilities require consistent income regardless of market conditions
• Respect for money is fundamental – there's no nobility in bragging about losses
• The speaker's largest loss was $30,000 on an adequately capitalized account
• Currency preferences include GBP/USD, GBP/CAD, and GBP/CHF
• Fear diminishes with proper risk management and experience
• All businesses involve risk – trading is no different from inventory management in other sectors
