You may have thought that the stock market was a place to make a fortune. Or you may have thought the markets were too risky. But the fact is more than half of the Australian population have a direct or indirect ownership of shares, either through direct ownership, derivatives or through managed funds and superannuation. And a growing number are share trading with the boom of internet brokerage, information accessibility and the boom in financial services and awareness. Share trading may be a dream job for some, having unlimited freedom; no bosses. But trading stocks for a living is not easy.

Share trading to earn a living is a challenge. It requires discipline and planning to succeed. Since trading stocks main purpose is to profit, it is important to treat trading as a business. Since it is considered as a business, a business plan must be set in stone and adhered to or else the chance of failure increases dramatically.

A lot of people think it requires a large sum of money to trade the markets successfully. But today, that is not the case.
