Faced with the prospect of a sometimes demoralizing and almost always uncertain labor market, many people wonder if investing in the stock market can be a full-time occupation with which to obtain an economic income that allows them to lead a comfortable life.

The answer to this question is not simple. On the one hand, it can be said that yes, a trader can earn a monthly amount comparable to a salary, but it is equally true that there is no guarantee of achieving it; Only some of the many people who try it can make a living from trading, since you have to be properly prepared for it, in addition to needing time and dedication.

What do you need to know to start trading?

To begin with, you must be very clear that you will not be able to achieve it in the short term. Investing in the stock market, especially at the beginning, requires patience, perseverance and, above all, a lot of training. In this, as in any other discipline, nobody is born learned. It is necessary that you assimilate the keys of the stock market and internalize its fundamentals. To do this, you have at your disposal training courses that will provide you with the necessary tools to know the terrain you tread well.

It is also important that you are aware that you are not always going to win. There will be operations that fail and make you lose money, but you must try not to let this affect you and maintain confidence in your analyzes and in the strategy adopted.. Therefore, a lot of determination, stamina, a strong mentality and the ability not to get carried away by emotions are essential requirements. If you do not have these qualities, you have to develop them, there is no other.

How much money does it take to invest in the stock market?

This is another very difficult question to answer, because it is not possible to give a specific figure that is adequate. Opening an account to operate is something you can do with 50 or 100 euros, but it is clear that you will not earn the same if you invest 100 euros as 100,000.

This amount will depend on different factors, such as, for example, the knowledge you have , your economic capacity, the strategy you want to follow or the risk you are willing to take.

As a general rule, it can be said that, at the beginning, the ideal amount is the one that you can afford to lose; that is, a figure with which you feel comfortable and can start operating without excessive pressure.

Later, as you practice and learn, you can progressively increase the investment and, consequently, also the profits.

How long can it take to make a living from trading?

Making a living from trading is something that cannot be achieved in the short term. While you learn and gain experience, you will have to combine it with another work activity that guarantees your livelihood. The income you obtain through investment in the stock market will be a supplement added to that main occupation.

Later, as your knowledge expands, that income will increase and take on a regularity. Perhaps they reach levels that allow you to consider being  a full-time trader. That’s when you should consider it, not before.

In any case, it is difficult to make an estimate. It will depend on your skills, your knowledge, the strategy you follow and the accuracy of your analysis.

Are there training courses?

Without a doubt, the first step to investing in the stock market is to learn. Only good training can provide you with the necessary tools to achieve your goals. With the appropriate knowledge, a good capacity for observation and a lot of study, you will be closer to knowing how to invest in the stock market.
