Wanting to try trading again after years of giving up. Is it worth giving it another shot?
Hi! I'm a full time employee working from home and soon to go back to school to pursue a master's degree and I anticipate I have a pretty packed schedule ahead of me. With how expensive everything is, combined with my tuition fee and pet expense (I have a dog), I thought of getting another job but my schedule going to be pretty hectic when I get back to school; I assume this would be nearly impossible to manage. So I thought of giving a trading another try.
A background about my trading knowledge, I used to be part of Greg Secker's Learn to Trade program more than 5 years ago. I was bad at it! Mostly because I was desperate to earn quick cash and get rich as soon as I can. I have been coached by someone claiming to be a 'profitable trader'. Although, I think I get most of the concepts and tools but my trading psychology is just really bad so I always blow up my account. Now I want to give it another try (without spending cash on coaching programs) but I'm curious if that's a good decision and if it's worth my time. Right now, I'm not looking for some quick cash but a source of income I could actually grow with my skills at home.
I want to know your insights and I'd appreciate suggestions for someone trying to do trading again. I don't know anyone trading and I assume my family and friends who knew I blew up my trading experience would give me mostly negative feedback so I'm asking experienced traders instead. Tia!
