Fulltime trader loner?

  1. If you gaol is 1M, and you are earning 200k/year in a steady job, why do you want to go back to trading to reach a 1M goal? :confused:

    1M within 6 mths. That is good enough proof to let my career go.

  3. ah OK. Then you retire? or you have other goals you want to do?
    If I understand well, your plan was :
    work-save- trade or gamble ( as it is not clear) in the ,arket
    You had a loss so you went back :
    work-save- and now looking for trade or gamble ( as it is not clear) with a bigger size?

    Nothing wrong with it, just want to make sure I understand the plan.

    Yes. Future is called ADVENTURE. Instead of being a member of local KKK or some other fancy club and discuss and prey for the future of the world.

  6. actually, may be a quicker plan :
    as you hold a job, borrow say 2 million.
    Then leverage the whole lot to get at least a 100-200 million
    of capital in your trading account.
    Then make the 1million. 1% return.
    Obviously it is all here also about trading skills.

  7. No need for 6 months. There's a great bit from Kipling's If which is right up your street;

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;

    :D

    do not underestimate my trading skills.

    I am putting to work 60K. in 6 attempts, 10 k each. Any gains will be really agressively reinvested in next bet.

    and' toolazy' because I have not done this before although identified true edge.
