It is always possible to make money trading, but in the current market you 'just' have to be much more selective with your trades and set smaller targets. There will always be movements where you can take small profits, just use as much technical analysis as you can and place sell/buy orders according to the results. Helps if you can spend 10-12 hours a day in front of a computer screen too, don't want to miss out an opportunity when they are a lot harder to come by.
