You mentioned that you don't even have a trading system that works yet...then
why would you even consider doing this professionally? Once you have traded
successfully for a few years then this is an area which you should explore.
And you must be consistent. If you can't do well consistently then it
doesn't mean much as in most things in life. Anyone can do well once in a
while, but only great traders can trade well consistently. This is a
performance oriented business. What I mean by that is that it isn't like
some business that you can just show up and make money, or some office job
where you can just show up and get paid whether you worked hard or not that
day. This business is no different from what professional athletes or
performers have to do. You must perform well consistently under any
condition. The fact that you say you don't have a trading system yet tells me
you're not ready for this. And whatever you do, don't buy someone else's
mechanical trading system. You may make some money some of the times that
way, but you will never learn the way or learn to trade. Good luck!
