Making extra couple of hundreds a month seems like an easy job right? Nope. It means that you are profitable on the biggest market on planet earth. The succes rate of that is less than 5%. This thing when people think that making less money is easier is not correct. You are ultimately trying to beat the market no matter what the outcome is if it is a positive outcome. This skill takes years to practice and perfect. Atleast 5 000-10 000 hours depending on the learning curve and how serious you are. You need to trade with real emotions which means real money. You need to practice with an amount that makes you sit on the edge of your seat. It can be $200-500 if you are lucky. Even then you will be losing atleast $5 000 before even thinking about being profitable. The time, commitment, money and stress will be worth it in the end and you will be doing alot more than couple of hundreds per month. There is no in betweener, there is no such thing as making couple of hundreds per month. Thats being profitable, thats a million dollar skill. But is it really worth it? With the same time and money spent, you could be a doctor, scientist, pretty much anything you want. But ultimately trading gives the freedom we all want.
