If you invest a million you would need a 20% return so it isn't likely to happen without at least twice that to start. Some years you might make 40% and some negative 30% but on average you will make about 11% over 30-40 years of investing. Trading you will probably lose whatever you start with in the first year especially if you start when young.

It is absolutely possible to earn that kind of money in the stock market. But just doing the traditional buying stocks and holding until they go up probably wont cut it. I played the markets back in the 90's during the dot com boom when anybody pretty much could make money. I made most of mine in options. Buying and selling stock options is very risky in the fact that they have expiration dates. Selling covered calls was my most profitable but did very well rolling stocks also. That's looking at charts and finding the average lows and highs and buying and selling over and over between those points. I made just over 2 million in one year and stopped playing after that while I was ahead. I started with $2500 in a brokerage account.

So yes you can but; learn as much as you can before you try it. Start as I did playing on paper and see how you do. That means pick stocks, options or whatever and simply write them down and pretend you buy and sell at certain points and see how you do. If can make money on paper then try it for real.

I spent 6 months playing on paper then went live.

I'm a engineer and I don't make 200k a year and I work two jobs anyway you should invest about a min of 2million and earn 10% a year.. Get to it

Best of luck

Stop dreaming for now and get a college degree, so you can earn about $70,000 a year.
