Forex Trading Articles by Nial Fuller 10 Reasons Why it Rocks To Be a Trader

By Nial Fuller in Forex Trading Articles by Nial Fuller |137 Comments

Let’s be honest, trading can get discouraging at times. Even professional traders have losing months sometimes, so don’t be too hard on yourself. I think it’s good to remind ourselves sometimes just why it is we do this. A little positivity and fresh focus on the reasons we all got interested in trading can be a very powerful tool to help us get re-focused on what it takes to succeed. It’s also just good to remember why we are doing this, because sometimes, in the middle of the inevitable losing streak, it’s exactly what we need to hear.

The numerous articles and videos on the web about “trading problems” and “why trading is hard” can just be downright discouraging after a while. Yes, trading is hard, we all know that by now. But so is anything else in life worthwhile, and the end-goal of becoming a consistently profitable trader is BEYOND worthwhile. To remind you why, let’s discuss 10 reasons why being a trader ROCKS HARDER than any other profession that has ever existed.

1. The most obvious reason: Financial freedom

The term “financial freedom” means more than just having enough money to not have to worry about bills and other everyday problems, it’s also about having REAL freedom. Just thinking about having the ability to make enough money to live comfortably from anywhere in the world, only needing a computer and the internet, is a powerful and motivating thought.

Being a successful trader not only means that you can make a lot of money, but much more importantly, it means you have freedom. You have freedom to essentially do what you want when you want, and you really can’t put a price on that.

2. You’re a Badass.

Traders are people who are looking for a way out. A way out of the ‘Matrix’ that is modern-day work and the 9 to 5 grind. Who wants to spend the majority of their waking life working to make someone else more money than they make themselves? This is the mindset of a trader. He or she sees the world for what it really is and not some fairy tale that society wants them to believe.

Thus, to be a trader, you have to have a mindset that is different from the masses. You are a ‘lone wolf’ who takes a ‘me against the world’ mentality and you don’t care what other people think. Many people, when asked about trading, will simply pass it off as ‘too risky’ or something only an ‘elite’ group of people can excel it. These people are the masses, the ‘sheep’ who are happy to remain asleep inside of the ‘Matrix’. You however, you want to be a trader, which means you have the mentality of a badass ‘rock star’ who doesn’t accept the status quo of what society has to offer.

3. Escaping the 9-5 ‘slave-grind’

The life that being a full time trader would allow you to live is simply awesome. Sitting by the beach, relaxing, entering a trade occasionally throughout the month when you see a high-quality price action signal; not too bad.

However, even better than that, is simply not having to ‘report’ to work on time every day. Waking up at 6 in the morning to get ready to drive into a job you loathe is no one’s idea of fun. Being a full-time trader would allow you to escape this form of modern-day slavery. I firmly believe that the way we all go to work for 40 hours a week (or more), hunched over desks in windowless cubicles, is simply a new form of slavery. Trading provides the opportunity to escape this. It’s not easy of course, but at least it gives us a chance at real, true freedom.

4. Flexibility

The flexibility that you get from being a trader is awesome. You don’t have to worry about ‘missing work’ or ‘calling in sick’ if you want to go visit relatives or go on a holiday. You can make your own schedule, travel where you want and do what you want when you want. For me, simply not having to live by someone else’s ‘rules’ or schedule is one of the best parts about being a trader.

5. Family time

If you have kids, being a trader allows you to spend more time with them and be there more as they grow up. This is especially rewarding when they are little and doing new things every day. Spending 8 or 10 hours at work every day causes you to miss at least half of your kid’s childhood as they grow up. You really can’t put a price on having more time with your family. Being an at-home trader allows you to have this time.

6. You understand the world better

Being a trader helps you understand the differences in strength of various economies around the world. I always find it amazing how little most people know about exchange rates and the relative strengths of different countries. Being a currency trader, you become focused on the price action of various currency pairs and this helps you understand the world in a more intimate and clearer way than most other people who are not traders. For example, if you want to travel to a different country, you will likely already know the exchange rate difference between that country and your own, whereas most people have no idea.

7. You call your own shots

Being a trader means you call the shots. You make your own decisions both in the market and in life. If you wake up one day and you don’t feel like doing anything, then don’t. You are not obligated to drive to work and hear your boss dictate to you what you need to do. You set the rules.

This type of freedom isn’t for everyone though. Some people simply breakdown without the rules imposed by jobs and society. If you’re going to be a full-time trader, you have to make your own structure and routine in life. For those who embrace this, it comes with the perk of real freedom. But if you’re not a self-starter and self-motivated, you will struggle with this aspect of trading.

Two of the best things about trading for me, are travel and minimalism. I have adopted a minimalist approach to trading and life in general. I love having the choice to live a ‘normal’ / humble life and I enjoy traveling. Trading gives me the freedom to be able to travel when and where I want, and all I need to trade is my laptop or an ipad to manage my positions and study the charts. The minimalist lifestyle and trading approach are synergistic in that having a scaled-back and ‘minimalist’ lifestyle helps you remain clear-headed, calm and focused as you trade.

8. You can trade until you die – no physical labour

The fact that trading can be done by the young and old alike is another big advantage. If you’re a trader, you don’t really ever have to ‘retire’ if you don’t’ want to. You can trade your whole life because it obviously isn’t physical labour and it can be done from your home. Thus, becoming a skilled trader provides you with the potential to generate income you’re entire life.

9. Equal playing field for all

It doesn’t take a degree from a fancy university to become a successful trader. It just takes determination, persistence and most of all, discipline and patience. Trading is truly the most equal of all opportunities out there. Anyone who wants to become a trader can learn from the ground up, no ‘prerequisites’ required. Some of the best traders in the world have no formal college education, so even college dropouts can succeed as traders if they want it bad enough.

Thus, trading offers a real opportunity for anyone in the world who is looking for a different path in life, a path to real freedom from today’s overly-structured societal ‘norms’.

10. Giving back

Becoming a successful trader puts you in a very unique position of being able to help other people. Not only can you help your friends and family financially (which is also really cool), you have the ability to pass on a skill to them. Something that they can then use to build their own true freedom like you did. This not only benefits them but also brings you great internal satisfaction. This is one big reason why I started teaching people how to trade via my price action trading courses and online traders’ community. Life is not fulfilling unless you can help others and make a difference in their lives, and that certainly is my aim through Learn To Trade The Market.

I love this post Nial.
I have just had some pretty significant losses which have forced me to re-evaluate everything from my trading strategy to my purpose in life.
I decided to have a couple of days off and it’s funny how apparent coincidences, ones which help to reset my mind to a positive condition, such as this post keep grabbing me.
Thanks for such an awesome post. It was the last and best in a string of apparent coincidences that has made me realize what it’s all about.
I can now approach the market and life with an enhanced attitude.

Hi Nial,
All from one to 10 are so true that I can truly feel in my heart. Specially the # 1, 2, 5 and 10.I feel so suffocated and chocking to tears every time I have to leave to work with my son and daughter crying,screaming “mommy” holding on my clothes not letting me go to work but I have to pull my self away. I have to make the money to make ends meet….many times driving with blurry eyes full of tears….my throat and my heart ache…such reasons why I want to find a way to change the scene in my life and family, and I know the trading is my way out. Thank you Nial.

Hi thanks Nial. I started trading just a little above one month now i reduced my $320 live account to $150. But then i began to see reality about trading coming to my head. I began to realized all i thought i knew about trading where all wrong, and are appearing foolish to me right now. So i have come to know that i need patience, determination and above all self motivation and discipline which i lacked before now. And now this article of your’s has also pointed me to that direction. Thanks Nial’

I can agree with everything you wrote in this article, but I’d like to ask you a question.
Did you never think about your role in the society? I mean: you’re a trader, you’re gaining your money and are free, but aren’t you a kind of social sponger? You don’t build anything, you don’t construct anything, you don’t heal, don’t rescue others, don’t make anything usefull for the society, your country etc.
OK, you’re teaching other people how to trade, but this way you bring up an army of… sponger. We won’t do anything usefull for the society and our countries, just like you.
Short in other words: I want to be a professional trader. I like it. But I wonder, if there comes a day when I will ask myself “what do you do for your environment? Are you usefull at all or just a non-working egoist?”.
Do you have no guilty conscience living this way, Nial?

  interesting comment and I respect your ideas and views.
  this is all about perception as well as knowledge.
  consider 3 things
  1 – successful traders and investors do add value to society by paying tax, giving money to charity, philanthropy etc.
  2 – traders create liquidity for us to trade on (orders on the bid and offer), without traders the financial system as we know it basically collapses.
  3 – for me personally, I have been able to do things and achieve things in my life that I would not have been able to do without the time, money and freedom created from the fruits of trading.

  Here we are talking about “making money” as a trader that can be utilized for himself, family, social, etc. like all the other professions. The matter is that we should enjoy and keep spirit with our profession and having balance time for family, friendship, etc. So we understand which profession is best for our-self.

This is a great article
Suggest a follow up article summarising other aspects which need to be addressed eg its necessary to develop interests outside of trading, the need for a buddy or three to share ideas with and who will listen to your problems, then we also have to be a friend and listen to others problems, take regular breaks and holidays etc
Trading is not the easiest profession as we need to be both the boss and worker and this can be a difficult mix

Everything is a mindset. If you are a consistent winner in life, you can be a consistent winner in trading.

Thanks Nial, you said it all. I have been employed for over 20years now. However since the last 8years I find my position getting up little by little, I have seen myself waking up with an alarm every morning and honestly this is one thing I hate to hear. Thank goodness that same period (8years ago) that I find my position getting bigger and more responsibilities give at my places of work, I got to know about Forex trading. I have made terrible mistakes while trading, losing so much money running into thousands of dollars.
I am however very happy that through your admonitions, I have learnt to be consistent, patient and more professional. Even when I have loosing trades, I keep hope very high that I will make more money. On resuming work this year, I funded a trading account and was able to make 100% profit within the first five days (Jan 5th to Jan 10th) and with that, I was able to solve so many problems that I was confronted with.
My aim now is to build up my forex account such that I will have no option than to quit my paid job and build up small faming business into a conglomerate.

One more aspect. This is on moral values. One can lead a very clean life. No bribing, no begging for getting some favours, no nepotism. One who proves his worth is the boss.

Hi Nial. My first comment eventhough I read all your articles every single one of them.
You are dead on. We live in the matrix already, 9 to 5 lifestyles I always abhorred it given my rebellious nature I prefer to die right now than be employed. Why people go to the a Gulf countries? Higher salaries with a tight noose around their necks. People want the ready job offer / cubicle.
I was employed a total of 4 years in my life and after I had enough with people saying when I can go to lunch and when I can take my vacation I flipped and dropped this whole world of conformity once and for all.
In re to trading it is possible but it take years to be honest. I don’t want to discuss trading here but what you said of the whole world turned into one big sweat shop and it doesn’t matter the salary I was making 30k a month and I detested every moment of waking up on an alarm, I didn’t want the money nor the job anymore. Beware people if you want the easy in life by all means go and get it but this is not true happiness. I refuse to bow down to any woman or man or corporation in the morning or live as society tells me to as the real world is different from what they feed you in movies and songs.

Great article Nial. Although being a full-time trader definitely not means that you are working less than the average 9-5 worker. But this will be true for anyone who is ‘self employed’.
Cheers

That there is a very good article. I wonder how much time you spend coming up with these sort of articles so regularly.
Your decision to give back will surely make some of us better traders.
