This is the most commonly asked question among new traders particularly after they have lose a part of their money. In fact, I also once asked myself this question when I am new to trading some years back.

So is it really achievable to make an income from trading?

It is a definite YES. Besides me, I have a few friends who started out with the same doubt as you quitting their job and focus on trading currency for a living today. However it is a not an easy task as it requires a lot of work to make it work and it is not as easy as what those advertisement makes it sounds like.

So what is the key factors that allows me to make money from trading currency:

1) The desire To Educate myself: Even though I am capable to trade profitably, I am still reading forex books, attending forex courses and reading up forex blogs. This is because the more knowledge you have, the easier you will find trading to be. When you attend a course or read a blog, you will always learn something that you are not aware of and it can be use to your advantage to increase your odds of winning.

2) Constant Practice: Practicing ...
... your new learned trading system is a must. Before you ever trade a system with your real money, you should always have the habit to try them out on a demo account to make sure that it is feasible. In addition, you can also fine tune the system to suit your trading style.

3) The willingness To Wait: There are a lot of traders that have their own trading plan, but only 20% of them in reality stick to their plan and 80% of them trade based on their instinct and enter trade even when there is no setups that suit their strategy. This is because they are reluctant to wait for the desired setup to occur and this usually cost them a big part of their capital.

If you are serious about trading forex for a living, you should take the above 3 elements into consideration. If you stay to the 3 factors above, you will be able to make money from trading one day.
