Any advice for a soon to be full-time trader?

  1. First of all, don't be greedy. Secondly, I do not know what expenses you plan to make weekly, if not, with 15k deposit, if you are a fast scalper like me, you can comfortably make $100 daily with no stress, all it requires is patience before you enter the market .

    And lastly stick to plan of your trades and be disciplined.

  6. I've seen smelly ragpickers come up to people on the New York subway, mutter some irrelevant shit, and then wander off on whatever their business is. Thanks for the memories.

  7. What is your point? What you said I quotted was wrong, learn or get schooled, I'm two decades away in trading, we all keep learning everyday

  8. Two decades, and still totally clueless? Unsurprising. If you don't know how to think, spell, or express anything beyond a caveman's grunt, learning from experience is going to be way beyond your abilities.

    My point, since you missed it, was that your typing effort (poor lad; deciding which hand to spare - the one holding the crack pipe or the one spanking the monkey - must have been torture for you) wasn't worth all the rank sweat you dripped on the keyboard. If you wanted to actually communicate something - you know, like normal people do when they post? - then you failed.

    But do come back and try again some time... preferably after you've completed a first-grade education. Then we can chat about schooling. Until then, into the "ignore" bucket you go.

    Thank you! I really appreciate that.

    Actually, I extended my leave by another two weeks as my company literally begged me to do so and were willing to pay me extra for it. That's more money in the bank for me, so why not, I figured. I'm just closing down the projects I'm working on before leaving.

    The funny thing is that my boss makes yearly salary adjustments on what I feel is a communist/socialist way of rewarding employees. Regardless of effort, he believes that a 5 % increase in salary is the absolute maximum on a yearly basis, but preferrably around 3 %. However, after handing in my resignation, I've been netting 25 % more in income for the last 4 months of my extended resignation period. This seems to be true for a lot of companies. They're not willing to pay you until you actually leave.

    This is a big part of why I decided to quit my job. Too stressful/demanding to combine with trading and too low salary/growth potential.

    Anyway, I'm ranting here. In a few weeks I'll be out for sure.

    Best,

    Howard
