You have to have an unsual skills set to make money as an independent trader. Fancy yourself as the latest incarnation of The Wolf of Wall Street (who I have met, and didn’t like very much, but the feeling was mutual, so that’s okay) be my guest. It’s your money. This is about financial freedom, not trying quick fixes. If trading shares was easy and the software you were sold so good, why are you being offered it for so little?
