Most successful traders are managing other people's money and not only their money. Which would be my recommendation to anybody who wants to become successful and rich through trading. Building a track record of a great trader is going to help to attract new clients. The benefit of trading with other people's money is that you can put on larger positions and you not only profit from when your trades are doing well. As a trader you know every day if you make money or are losing money, your positions are red or green, there is no inbetween. When trading money for other people who usually get a fixed fee for the assets you trade. This helps to generate income during bad months or when the markets are moving sideways.
