  1. I was doing that annual thing IB make you do where you have to declare what kind of experience you have, your income and where it comes from, and I thought it was actually quite an interesting question.

    So on average, what percentage of your income comes from trading?
     
  2. Over a hundred percent! I have a side gig as a gigolo and that's not going well at all :(

    It really varies. Some month it is more than my paycheck, and the next I hardly break even.
     
  4. On average, should be over several years if possible. Month to month, year to year, will vary.
