There are professional traders, but dont hope to become one yourself. I follow the simple method of buying low and selling high - this takes time to cycle over the bull/bear cycle but churns out decent profits if you have patience.

Note: I am talking mostly in terms of long term Spot trading.

This is typical of some traders who believe that when you go into trading then your financial challenges are over, no because it is not like that. Trading has its own challenges and some weeks the loses are so much that you want to consider leaving and this is why trading should be like a side hustle for those not experienced on it but professional traders have a way around trading because even when they lose their capital they can easily come back.
