I have been learning for around 10 years investing 1000s of hours but can I hell get consistent at it.
Does anybody do this successfully who could point me in the right direction, with a consistent strategy, video, course etc.
I need to get out of this rat race, i'v been hoping this is the ticket for a long time! ........... without success (YET)
Do you mean on stocks? Isn't this meant to be extremely dangerous, as you basically get killed by the margins and fees, being small-time, the margins and fees which don't apply to the big firms which win big doing this?
Also, the big firms have massive teams full of analysts, and all sorts of computer models/ machine learning etc, you're unlikely to spot something which they don't, and when you do you will win small, the other times you'll lose big.
The easiest way to win on stocks is long term, on massively diversified portfolios or funds, but you need a big chunk in, to cover a wage, and those things are better left in to gain on the compound interest etc, that's where the big win is.
Have a look on eTorro maybe, there's loads of guys on there making like 40% per year in the good years, and you can copy their trades, most of them have been hammered like 30% in the last year mind. The way to do that is follow a few when the going is good, and then just get out when things start to look like they're going bad.
As daft as it sounds, you might be better looking at professional gambling, but more the trading side/ betfair etc, but you need to really know your market, only specialise in one market, ensure you have the fastest access to streams, stats and news etc. Also, you will need to practice, with pretend money to get up to speed, and then try it with a small amount and only end up trading 1-2% of your investment each time (it's not what you're winning, it's proving you can win, and beat variance over time), not doing daft things like betting small values, which are massive % of the investment, as that is just gambling, and you'll get battered by variance. Once you know you're happy and you can do it, use more money, but still only betting 1-2% of your pot etc.
Betfair will take a cut of course, on the exchange, but it's not that hard to beat the cut, and the market by a small percentage.
I used to do trading with Tennis and Cricket, it's easier on sports which are longer, which give you time to correct mistakes, and get out of trouble. NFL looks like it would be quite good too, not many in the UK know much about yet, and there's plenty of money going on it, loads of people betting on it with massively delayed streams, which is insane. There's software you can use to speed up the betting, and make things easier, miles better than using an app or website etc.
As with anything like trading stock or trading sports, every day is a learning day, even when you lose, and the best way to learn is to lose, providing you do actually learn from the mistakes. Don't go chasing massive wins, or chasing losses, small but consistent wins is the best way.
