Let's start with a reality check.... You can't do anything with $1000.

That said, let's talk about what it takes to trade full time.

Let's say you want an income of $48,000/year. That's $4000/month. If you can be a stellar trader and consistently make 5%/month (60%/year), then you will need a nest egg of $80k to do this. So think of that as the target amount you'll need to begin to approach the concept of "trading for a living". Of course if you only average 2%/month, you will need $200k to make it happen.

Keep in mind that most investors get returns in the 5-15% annual range, so you are going to have to be pretty exceptional in your skill level to get to 5%/month. How do you get there? Education and coaching. And oh, by the way, poor education and coaching will just put you in a position to LOSE 5% a month till you're broke in 18 months. If you don't know what you're doing, you will lose money, guaranteed.
