Can i trade forex as a side hustle

sircrabo:
Forex is difficult (no doubt) and only a few disciplined ones make it to the 5%. The technicals isnt the problem, the major issue is the discipline of the trader. You won't know how greedy you are until you start trading forex.

Personally I won't advise anyone I know to start trading now because its a long, lonely, horrible and turbulent journey. And it takes years to become profitable. BUT if you persevere and learn from every mistake you make along the way, you'll be grateful for the skill in the long run.
Nigerians are good at overflooding businesses and making it unprofitable and unattractive. Nigerians una sabi cast business. Same way people trooped into pure water business and casted it then to recharge card printing, then to fish farming and now POS. Very soon they'll cast content creation and Facebook won't pay Nigerian creators anything reasonable anylonger.

Nigerians hate forex from what I've seen so far because FOREX no gree una cast. Forex isnt a place you come and do anyhow, if not you go collect. If forex was as easy as a lot of people on this thread wanted, it won't have value by now. Una for Don cast am as usual. Sorry to disappoint you but its not getting any easier. It's either you commit to learning over a long period OR you stay out and face your pos businesses.

The percentage of unprofitable traders used to be about 95% but now we have more profitable traders springing up. Just work your way into the category of profitable traders. There's no way to riches that's easy. Go and ask people who cross the ocean to Europe about their experience. Only a few live to tell the story. Go and ask drug dealers the risks involved in their business. Doctors, engineers, lawyers spend years mastering the profession before they can earn reasonably. But you all that haven't even traded FX for upto one year are here comparing it to Sporty. Its not your fault. Its because of the easy entry barrier forex has. If brokers set a minimum deposit of $1000 for a live account, many of you won't be able to afford it. That your $50, $70, ,$100 won't make you rich in the FX market, instead the market will sniff it like a drug.

If you must trade, learn it well and be sure you have the required discipline to protect your capital. If you aren't scaling up as much as you want (after committing to learning and discplined trading) feel free to withdraw and invest in other ventures. In FX trading, capital preservation is the most important.

I rest my case

In retrospect, one of the best decision I made last year was liquidating my usd holdings in money market to invest in the NGX after seeing the market momentum. The plan was just to beat mutual funds or money market rate which was higher than most dollar mutual funds. That goal has been exceeded not because I am a guru at timing the market. While I didn't invest in most of the stocks that had given over 300% considering their liquidity and fundamentals, Stocks like Nahco, Presco, PZ, WAPCO, MTNN, Aradel have delivered at least 80% - to over 100% all under 6-8months while I sleep peacefully at night

Mission accomplished. Next mission is to know when to sell and not continue shifting the goal post. Stocks like Presco and Nahco makes it difficult considering they have refused to considerably retraced but rather maintained their upward trajectory. So far, been a good year and one of the best seasons for my portfolio generally in over 10years in this business.

Kudos to everyone that selflessly contribute to this thread and sharing great perspective. You guys are the best.

Good job boss keep it up..
