    I was in the same situation a few years ago. Most of my trading profits were in the morning. So I started a mortgage broker business which has actually led to several other business ventures. I got tired of goofing off every afternoon and every time my trading profits slowed I was stressed out. I did it, not only to make more during slow times, but also for a back up plan and piece of mind.

    I would suggest thinking a little bigger than a basic job. Start a business. It may be a little more difficult at first but in the end you will be much better off for it.

    :cool:

  7. If you have to get a second job, you aren't cut out for trading!!
    Make your $$$ first, then trade when you don't HAVE to make money every day in the market.

    Trust me, it is better this way.....:D

    I concur. trading and poker go hand in hand. I prefer a live game instead of online just to get out of the house and get "free" coctails.
