  1. No it would not be impossible to make that a day. You would have to be fairly skilled however and don't expect to make that money daily. Most guys make all their money in one or two days a week and the rest do the days are scratch to slight losers. It takes most people around 2 years to get profitable. You should start working on your trading now and continue to save capital in order to make your start. Start finding strategies on your own. You need set-ups and strats you created so that you know them in and out and will never be suprised by changing market conditions etc. I'd try to have two solid winning strats before I started the full time go. Start small when you get comfortable that's when you worry about making lots of money.

    Don't listen to the people who say you can't do it. You can. Unfortunately most fail and think I can't do it so no one else can.
