[Don’t tell anyone that you’re a trader yet]

You’re wondering:

“Why can’t I tell others that I’m a trader?”

Well, if you’re a consistently profitable trader, then go ahead. There’s no issue with it.

If you’re not, then it’s best to keep quiet about it.

That’s because when you tell your friend that you’re a trader, the first question you’ll get is…

“Have you made money from trading?”

Your answer is probably no.

And you won’t feel good about it as you’re reminded of your losses and how incompetent you are.

The next time you meet up with your friend again, guess what’s the first question he’ll ask you?

“Have you made money from trading?”

Again, your answer is no and you’ll feel horrible about it.

Now when you meet your friend the next time, guess what’s one question he’ll ask you?

You get my point.

So to avoid this “trauma”, don’t tell anyone about your trading endeavor—not even your family.
