Indeed. If anyone ask me if they should start trading, my reaction is "DON'T DO IT". But that is for the average person and maybe software developer. For people who have a fighter personality, good mathematical skills, good programming skills, good economic skills, no kids/family and a nice pile of cash, I think they have a chance.

These people have no edge, they have the most to loose and the less likely to risk much while not realizing the risks they are taking.

They should not trade.

Can I ask approximately how much money and time did you have to sink into learning the ropes before you started to turn a profit?
