You wouldn't walk up to a stock trader and say "hey, I don't have any money, but I know how to analyze stocks, give me some of yours to invest and we'll split the profit". 

I’m young and want to start my life, I’m a forex trader and have been aspiring to become a REI.

@Todd Trader Hi Tom, I think I have emailed you.

The stock market is incredibly volatile, so unless you're a day trader capitalizing on the fluctuation or you're someone parking their money in an index fund for the next 30 years that's not the most appetizing option.

my disclaimer...yes I am currently in the real estate industry but was also a professional floor trader in my previous life. 

those traders didn't want to end up like Brad in this (fictional?)

Most options traders don't want to actually take delivery of oil so they sell, because the option is about to expire worthless and they don't want to get assigned. 

Just wondering if anyone in this community is also a day trader.

I wanted to say that I am an option trader myself who wasn't very successful and was failing for 8 months straight.
