Can I get into trading?

I agree. Start with a demo account. Get some practice time and some time in front of some charts. While it is true that a lot of traders don't make it, that's true with any business. Most new businesses fail in the first 2 years. However, I don't think you should go into it expecting to fail because if you do then you will absolutely fail. Go into it with the mindset that you will succeed and then work as hard as possible to make it happen. That's the only way to make it success happen - hard work, dedication and belief.
