A trader’s aim is obviously to earn good money, and ideally to live comfortably. While the income of average traders is relatively well known, the salary of the best traders is the subject of all sorts of fantasies. Let's shed some light on this mystery.
Let's start by saying that the best traders are thin on the ground. They are usually highly educated financial geniuses who are spotted by influential investors thanks to their in-depth knowledge of the stock market. Once recruited, they trade astronomical sums of money and reap substantial gains. They are recruited as employees by reputable companies, meaning their monthly salaries are fixed. These salaries tend to grow as traders gain experience and refine their trading strategies.
During their first years, traders can earn up to €50,000 per year. The most experienced traders can easily double this sum, to which significant bonuses are added from time to time.
In addition to the fixed monthly salary, the best traders receive substantial bonuses, which constitute the bulk of their income. Capitalism dictates that the most experienced and successful traders are entitled to the most motivating bonuses from the organizations to which they offer their services.
The more profits they make and the better their individual performance, the more profitable they become. In general, it is estimated that their annual bonuses are in the region of €250,000.00. However, these bonuses vary greatly and this is only a general estimate. It is not uncommon for traders around the world to quadruple this amount and can earn up to €4 million each year, or more.
For professionals, the question does not arise given their comfortable income. For novices wishing to invest, the answer is more delicate. Of course, it is possible to make a living provided that the initial investment is significant. It is estimated that you need at least € 15,000 to begin trading under the best auspices and make a proper income.
It is also recommended to train extensively on free sites to acquire solid experience in order to maximize your chances.
