I don’t suggest actually trading for beginners. The risk to lose gets higher when you trade without sufficient knowledge and experience, so if you plan to maximize trading and goes all out learning all those techniques and strategies, still I won’t advise to focus on trading just because other traders are creating successful stories from it.
Trade at your own risk, and with that, I mean to say just trade to earn a side income, not as a main source of income. It gets more risky to win from your trades especially if you do it as a means for survival, rather than as a side hustle.
That is truth trading is very risky especially if you depend on it for your main money. It is good to warn newbies not to jump into trading even after much of study. This is because when you need to win trades to pay your bills pressure can make you take big risks or abandon your plans out of fear or greed. Market does not care about your personal needs. So it is much safer and more realistic to trade only for extra income not as your main job. This way you can learn and get better without huge stress of needing to win which actually helps you succeed in long run.
Trading could become a main job, if you give it a good time. But you need to give a long time so that you can do a good job with it. Obviously it takes time to get there but I am sure that people will get there with time. However, trading as a main job is not just about expertise or experience, it is also about capital. Remember, you need to live yourself as well, so you need make profit enough to pay for your normal life expenses AND also make a profit and get higher.
So let's say you need 1k per month, and you have 100k, then every month, you need to make at least 1% profit, and then more if you want to grow your capital as well. There will be bad times, where you will lose money instead of make money, so you need to be consistently making more each month.
