You do need some decent capital to make consistent money with sensible risk (don't risk more than 1-2% of your account on any single trade and aim for realistic returns). And you don't have to learn about market fundamentals/economics etc (unless you want to) you can trade entirely off chart patterns/signals.
You can also choose to trade the longer timeframes which means you don't have to sit in front of charts all day, just check once/twice a day and most of the time you'll be out of the market anyway.
2-5% a month is quite achievable taking only 3-4 trades a month on the daily time frame. With a 6 figure account that can be quite a nice way of life...

If I were you MP, I would start running to the shops instead of walking. Then start running to and from friends and parents and school. pretty soon you will be fit and you can enter the London Olympics and win a Gold medal for Britain.
then you can write a book about it, make a film and then retire.
I only want 10% for the idea
