Having a system with positive expectancy will definitely get you out of bed in the morning.

Guessing is gambling.

Quote from FCXoptions:

Why not just go into law enforcement and then trade some on the side? Then you would get all the satisfaction from being around people and everything on a regular basis and then you can just trade when you feel like it. If you work nights you really will be good to go on trading when you feel like it.

I am young but have debated on going into law enforcement or being a firefighter and then just trading in spare time. I'm in school right now for a degree in finance but honestly I can't see myself working for some big firm or anything. I'd be just as happy running a construction crew or being a cop or something. Don't make trading your job, make it hobby that makes you money. That is my two cents at least.



In the words of Bernard Baruch:

“Don't speculate unless you can make it a full-time job.”

If you were a confident trader and were making money, you wouldn't have a problem waking up.
