To answer the question..... "Free of the corporate world" is bullshit. Some people want to contribute to the workplace even if they are trading. Some people desire to be "free from the corporate world" period. What's your desire? (Should be in trading plan) If one pays attention, there's plenty of proof it's possible. If you are new and you want to depend on trading to provide a solid financial life right now, you have much to learn. Answer for you: I hope so.

If you have paid your dues in the arcade or prop world, and have enough cash, experience, confidence and have proven to yourself that you can do it, then sure.
