How Many Of Us Do Full Time Trading?

[kingfisher3210]

I dont trade full time for living. I did a calculation-

If you can capture 500 points in Nifty Future every month (20-22 sessions) using 10 lots (margin- Rs 2.5 lakhs), then total profit is Rs 2.5 lakh per month- enough for a upper class life in India.

Brokerage amounts have not been deducted. The brokerage will come out to be Rs 40,000 per month assuming one trade every day.

Nifty Future gives you a range of approx 1200 points approx every month (every day range added together). So, you are looking to capture 40-45% of volatility.

Until and unless i can not make 500 points every month consistently, i think trading for living will remain a dream.

Practicals are different from theory.

NIFTY is the most safe and reliable for analysis. But sometime it becomes difficult to trade when volatility is low (except option writing).

One should look out for other profession too !!

Just recently started out. Hopefully, I'll be trading more actively in the near future.

I think all of us start trading and once we are deeply into it, we think we should make it as our carrier but only very less fellows actually do it and live thier service.

Most of the traders spent many years just thinking to do full time trading or not and then a point comes when the age rises and also the responsibility become more then we cannot do full time trading. I think I do not become like this one.

Thank you and best of luck.
