What is professional trading?
Professional trading involves analyzing financial markets and making decisions to buy or sell assets with the goal of controlled profitability.
Unlike amateur trading, it relies on a rigorous methodology, structured risk management, and a pre-established action plan.
At Xeilos, we train our students in this professional work environment, regardless of their objective: independent work or integration into an institutional setting.
Is it possible to make a living from trading?
Yes, it is possible to make a living from trading, provided you develop a real method, respect a rigorous discipline, and adapt your activity to your available capital.
Most professional traders make a living from proprietary trading, or operate in structured environments (prop firms, banks, hedge funds, etc.).
The path to profitability requires time, guidance and serious practice, which Xeilos training allows you to acquire gradually.

What skills do you need to develop to become a trader?
The key skills of a good trader are both technical and mental:
Mastery of technical analysis
Risk management (money management)
Discipline and emotion management
Market analysis
Developing and adhering to a trading plan
These skills are acquired through structured learning, practical exercises and quality educational support, which is at the heart of the Xeilos method.
What are the main trading risks you should be aware of?
Trading involves real risks of capital loss, especially if you start without training or a methodological framework.
The most frequent mistakes: oversizing of positions, lack of a plan, emotional overexposure…
At Xeilos, risk management is a priority: you learn to limit losses, protect your capital and build a profitable long-term strategy.
What taxes apply to trading income in France?
Gains from trading are subject to taxation as income from movable capital.
In personal accounts, they are generally taxed at 30% (PFU, also called “flat tax”).
In some cases (trading through a company), other tax regimes may apply.
Xeilos informs you about the tax implications of the profession.
