What is it like to make millions trading?
The main thing is, most people who make a lot of money trading don’t love trading. Those who do will make a lot of money the rest of their lives. But those who are in it for the money will burn out. When people ask about careers with lots of earning potential I always worry that if the job is only a means to money they will either burn out or become terrible people. Me, I loved the challenges presented by trading, and enjoyed the money, but there was no life-long commitment because once I had solved the problems I wanted to solve no mission, vision, or purpose remained.
