  1. Yeah, it definitely sucks, but I believe it`s my best bet at the moment. The good thing is that I`m not dependent on making money (even though the desire to do so is sometimes stronger than it should be) on my trading.

    Regarding scalping (which I have had some success with), I believe my focus still should be to sit on my hands and stalk the market waiting for bigger opportunities, BUT on the other hand I need to be able to close out a position with a SMALL profit (even though I had my eyes on a big one) when I see that the market is not validating my original idea.

    So, did you trade your way out of your day job or what happened? :)

    My current situation is not sustainable in the long run, so we`ll see what happens. I will re-evaluate in the holidays. I might quit my day job when I have 3 months of savings or so.

    Best regards,

    LF

    I'm a translator. I switched the corporate life for the work-at-home-in-your-underwear life :D :p So I have no (major) schedule problems; if I have a tight deadline I simply skip a day or two of trading.

    I wouldn't be in a hurry to quit your job, success in trading always looks tantalizingly close, better to have a year or so of savings, just my opinion.
