DislikedI have been trading for last 3 weeks live. I am a student trying to become an internal auditor. I feel service career is more satisfying then a trading career.
I am trading all alone in my room sitting in front of my PC for 8-10 hrs a day. Trading does not involve any social skills, no friendship circle (like office friends), no value addition, no career skills.
In a service career, i will interact with so many office friends, will have a well defined career, can visit different places for assignments and will have overall satisfaction and better...Ignored

QuoteDislikedDidn't you say you would prefer a Service career over a Full-time Trading career? What's with the change of heart?
My advice to you is:
1) Finish University
2) Work in a Job
3) Trade Forex part-time
Forex is a 24-hour market, there is trading opps at anytime. Start with Demo trading. Once you established a track record on your Demo, then move over to rl trading.

Just looking at a 15 minute candle, i see thousands of dollars spinning in that candle. On screen, it looks to be an easy money.
What should i do?
Choice 1- Complete studies, get the job and trade on larger time frames (swing/position trading. No day trading)
Choice 2- Dedicate myself completely in forex trading, keep studies and job search pending, keep trying 1-2 trades a day making about 80-100 pips a day
