Going full time

They have those things for self-employed people.
That's not a reason to keep a job.

 

Welcome to day trading.


I dreamt about day trading 4 decades ago.
I read hundreds of trading books,
attended tens of trading courses,
analyzed thousands of charts,
and worked very very hard.


I am a day trader since 2 decades ago.


Day trading is actually the hardest profession.

 

They're easy to buy, that's for sure... look out when it comes time to sell them though.

 

I had a friend who left Goldman Sachs with 4mm to trade on his own. The first 2 years he made 2mm each year. The last year he lost 2mm and went back to work. Wanna know why? LONG TERM DISABILITY.

 

I would never toss away an income earning job for an endeavor that 98% fail at without a quantifiable edge. Being nervous is probably the perfect human response in such situation.

 

"it's as easy as it's made out to be."

What a total recipe for disaster....

 

that's why you sell them first and then buy them to close.


opposite of what the public does.

 

Delighted when you do well and disappointed when you don't, those are fine. Excited and nervous? --Recipe for disaster.

 

Why bother buying them at all? Kidding... kidding; a little.

 

I mean, if your job is secured, then that's probably best to stick with and keep trading as a hobby or a part-time, til you are so sure enough of leaving, if you are able to make good money.
