18 Reasons Forex Trading Is the World's Best Job

There is much discussion online about the association between trading and work. Many, especially beginners, ask themselves: can Forex trading be considered a profession? If so, is it really better than all the others? The answer may vary from person to person, from experience to experience. It is certain, however, that if some aspects are taken into consideration, the Forex trader can not only be assimilated to a profession, but it is also the most beautiful profession in the world. Here's why.
The past doesn't matter. Very often, to enter the world of work or to embark on a career in any professional field, it is necessary to have a certain background, to have had certain experiences, to possess certain qualifications, etc. In Forex, none of this. The past doesn't matter, only the ability to produce profits counts.
You can work wherever you want. No office, no constraints. Traders can "work" practically everywhere, as long as they have a stable connection. There are very few professions that offer this possibility.
The entry level is really low. The so-called "barriers to entry" prejudice access to a good part of the professional fields and almost all trading activities. For example, those who want to start trading futures must have a capital of at least 25,000 to be able to pull the classic spider out of the hole. Forex trading, thanks above all to the foresight of some brokers, imposes a really low minimum deposit, in some cases 100 euros are enough to start.
Forex is a life teacher. It may seem exaggerated but it is not. Forex trading is really able to teach a lot to those who practice it. It is a continuous challenge with oneself and with others, it is a perennial struggle with an unpredictable market, it is an invitation to competition that is cyclically renewed. Forex helps to cultivate some moral qualities, fortifies one's personality, improves resilience.
You have no superiors. Those who work as employees, even those who work as freelancers, must be accountable to someone. To a superior, to a client, to a supplier. In Forex trading there is maximum freedom. The trader only answers to himself. This also involves some disadvantages, but the advantages are clearly superior.
You make excellent acquaintances. This is an aspect that is rarely talked about, but it can be confirmed by all traders who can boast a certain experience. Trading, you meet beautiful people. People similar to us, fun, stimulating, a little crazy. Because, in the end, Forex trading changes people, or only allows those with the brightest personality to "survive".
It's versatile. Those who carry out a proper profession are often forced to persevere in the same approaches, to work every day with the same methods. The trader, on the other hand, can change. It is Forex itself that lends itself to this possibility. There is something for everyone (scalper, long term trader etc) and it is always possible to switch from one approach to another.
Stimulates creativity. This aspect is in contradiction with what common sense suggests. Isn't Forex trading the place of technique, numbers, statistics and planning? Sure, but not only. The trader is left some room for creativity. Simply put, some events are not predictable and some solutions cannot be programmed. So, in these cases and in many others, room for creativity!
It's flexible. As mentioned earlier, there are no hours. So, in theory but also in practice, it is possible to do Forex trading as a "second job". It is possible to invest, learn and lay the foundations for a future career while still keeping one's profession. To tell the truth, this is a situation shared by the vast majority of traders.
It's tidy. All professions encourage a certain degree of disorder: scrap paper, cards, tools, etc. Those who do Forex Trading can only count on a computer, so they work in a more orderly and easy to manage environment.
It allows isolation. This is an advantage that will leave someone indifferent. Not those who hate having to deal with people, who prefer to be alone, who crave - for various reasons - isolation. If desired, by doing Forex it is possible to isolate oneself and stay on one's own.
Teaches a lot about people's psychology. Practicing Forex means learning a lot about human nature, how people react in times of stress, how they compete with each other, etc. A sociological look that few professions offer.
It does not require complex tools. Of course, a PC is needed. But what PC? A sufficiently powerful one is enough, nothing exceptional. It is possible to do Forex trading and produce many profits even with a 300 euro computer.
Grants a lot of free time. Forex trading, for those who practice it wisely, does not require many hours a day. It certainly requires less than any other profession. There are, however, extremes. If you practice automatic trading, the free time is a lot, if you practice scalping, it's little. In any case, you gain in quality of life. You have more time for yourself, for the people you love, for your passions.
It's fascinating. This is an advantage that one could do without, but it is still an advantage. The truth is that saying "I'm a trader" allows you to attract sympathies and curiosity. This happens because Forex trading is still an unknown world for most people.
It allows you to be a good citizen. If you have more free time, you have more time to devote to important causes. It is not uncommon to come across someone who wants to make a civic commitment but cannot because his job takes up most of the day. Traders, on the other hand, having a lot of free time, can engage in causes in which, possibly, they believe.
Improves interpersonal relationships. Same argument. If you have more free time available, this can be used to cultivate interpersonal relationships, see people, go out, etc. Inevitably the social sphere improves, as well as the mood and the general standard of living.
Enriches. Last but not least. Does Forex make you rich? Yes, but only if practiced with great caution and competence. Statistics say that only 15% of traders end the year in profit. Statistics, however, also say that those who earn, set aside really important figures. The internet is full of stories of people who, apparently out of nowhere (actually after years of preparation) have become rich thanks to trading. We are even talking about millions of euros. So why not try? It could be the right way to say goodbye to your tiring, boring job. It takes patience, initiative, aptitude for study, resistance to stress. All important qualities, but not at all rare.
