I've been trading for a few years, it's my main gig for making money. I do it because I'm a stay at home mom, so it's something real that can earn money. I earn an ok amount, I'm not rich but trading has definitely improved my life. I will say though, it is risky and it isn't something you learn overnight, it does take effort. Best thing to do is go join up on Babypips, they have courses to explain and a forum and everything is free. YouTube also has a lot of helpful content, just find traders you like and subscribe to them there.
