I work at a forex broker, and I can tell you that it is 100% possible to make a living trading, but people let the fud get to them. The "95% of traders lose money" thing is true, but it's also misleading. The vast majority of retail "traders" are some combination of retarded/gambling/uninformed. It's a rarity to see people actually placing orders with stop losses or exercising any form of risk management. Manage your fucking risk, it's by far the most important thing. If you have a simple strategy that relies on a few indicators and basic fundamentals, and you manage your risk properly, you are in a better position than that 95%. Dont risk more than 2% of your capital on a trade, and set your profit targets before you go in.
The people who scream and cry and say TA doesn't work and that you can't make money trading are the people who load up RSI and bollinger bands at the default setting, look at the 15 minute chart for EURUSD, and dump their whole stack leveraged 100x. Don't let the crabs get you, if you're already profitable, dont fuck things up by going for the big score, keep making consistent profits and compounding will take care of the rest.
