I have traded since I was 16 years old. I started with JPY/USD in the currency market. After that I have traded almost anything under the sun. I am 48 now. I don’t need to trade anymore. I am financially free. I only trade for fun now when I feel like it.

I can recommend a few good books on trading via fundamental and technical analysis that might help you. Trading can be learned and it is not about luck. It is about a process and following it.
