Full Circle – How to Make $150,000 Per Year.

A quick recap: the first step towards financial success is to define your weekly profit target. Next, you need to find a reliable, straightforward trading strategy that will help you achieve your profit goal. When you enter into a trade and your trade hits either your profit target OR your stop loss, exit that trade immediately. Stick to your trading plans and strategies until you achieve your weekly profit goal, and then give yourself a rest until next week.

If you’ll think back to the case I gave at the beginning, in order to make $150,000 per year – assuming a 50-week year and two weeks of vacation – you’d need to make $3,000 per week. At a $300 profit per trade, this means that you would need to trade ten contracts. Of course, this illustration can be applied to various amounts. If you wanted to make $225,000 per year with a weekly profit target of $300 per contract, for example, then you would have to trade 15 contracts, and so on, and so on.

If you don’t have a trading account that let’s you trade the amount of contracts that I’m talking about yet, then now is the perfect time to start building it. Remember, be patient with your trading, be smart, slow, and steady. Trading success doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right strategies and structure, you can achieve profitable results in a much shorter time period than you may have thought possible.

Plan your trades and trade your plan. THAT’S how successful traders make money.

• I rest my case. J
• “Is it really possible to make a living as a day trader?”
• This question is asked over and over and over again by normal, ordinary people. The answer is simple: “Yes, it is DEFINITELY possible! And, better yet, you yourself can do it!” Sometimes people don’t believe me when I say that they can become successful, full-time day traders, but it’s true. And I’m going to prove it to you right now.
• Before we get started, I need you to ask yourself one very important question: “How much is ‘a living?’” Many people want to be ‘rich,’ but they fail to quantify what ‘rich’ means to them. Are you ‘rich’ if you have one million dollars? Maybe so, but if you told Donald Trump that he had one million dollars in his bank account, he’d wonder what had happened to the rest of it! One million dollars to Donald Trump equals broke!

How to Make $150,000 Per Year.

• Since I don’t want to get into a deep discussion about “how much money is a decent living for you,” let’s just assume that you would be pretty happy if you were making $150,000 per year, and let’s say that you are making this money with your trading. Does that sound reasonable?
• Let’s break it down: $150,000 per year would be $12,500 per month, or, if you prefer, $3,000 per week. This is assuming that you are taking two weeks of vacation per year.
