You don't need to deceive yourself by trying to make trading looks like it's evil or something impossible.
You can always make profits from trading and become a rich trader if you actually know what you are doing. For the fact that you don't know how to trade or how to be profitable in trading does not mean that you have to underestimate the power of trading for those that have being profitable in trading for consecutive years. Traders are really making money from trading but majority are losing just because they don't have sufficient information that will help them become a better trader.
While I would agree with others that it's very difficult to do this, I have to say it is possible. Sure, when you first start, and maybe even after a while, you may feel like you do not know what you are doing and the whole trading concept could look foreign to you. But that doesn't mean you should be looking at this from point of view of a loser, but a winner.
If you think what you can do if you won, then you can see what is possible . Just the simple "imagine your life if you were making profit from trading" could change everything. That would make you live a much better life, probably earn more, work anywhere, and even move to a more entertaining place, like at some beach somewhere. It's not an easy task at all.
