Don't need to 'beat' the instos and brokers at their own game in2win. You need to win with your own framework and strategy of which you can gain an edge as a retail holder over being tied down as some instos and brokers are .
Most people are fooling themselves when they enter the FX and cfds market, and trading shares is one other arena - if they expect it to be easy to try and replicate and furthermore beat someone at their same game. You can play a different game and still make money and be happy
Remember - those who work in finance and business breathe and live this stuff day in, day out. They have the institutional backing, knowledge and training to back them up over the every day mum and dad turn part time trader, so common sense says that the odds are stacked against you to begin with. But you do have advantages as a retail holder.
P.S. I wish you all the best! WHat were you doing before you became 'part time' and what made you want to jump?Had you been educating yourself for awhile or have just recently jumped into it as part of upskililng yourself to eventually hopefully go full time?
