Hello Jdesey, Day trade and work your sales job at the same time. There is no such thing as full time trading. Why on earth would you want to day trade for a living? Sounds miserable.
Hello Jdesey, Trading full time or trading for a living is SCAM and LIE. Trading full time is what Scammers, Liars, Pimps, book sellers, Youtubers sale to customers to steal their money to trick them so they can quit their job and replace job income with trading. Trading full time or trading for a living is my dumbest and most stupidest thing to ever do in the world. Keep your job and enjoy it. Quit your job when you are millionaire.
I thought I was an old fogey. But, man, you're damn old. Almost an ancient relic, even by my standard. Anyway, this place has too many old farts.
Recently someone did an age survey in this forum. Most of us declare ourselves as old. So we knew how to use mechanical typewriter, abacus, slide-rule and those old relics.
Actually, I visited my aunt recently. She's in her late 70s. And would you believe me if I tell you she day trades? I stayed with her for a few days and we both day traded in our pajamas.
Not true. If you're still hoping to reinvent the trading wheel, yes it's not a good idea to trade full time but if you have a good profitable system which you know will keep you out of bad trades, keep you out of bad markets then go for it. If the market turns bearish for some months, do you think you can survive through it?
