    Almost thought it was a blast from the past with easyrider

    Attitude and mindset has a lot to do with what one considers legit, scam, truth or lies.

    The world's a mirror and an open mind * discernment = opportunity.

    ymmv,..

    mental meltdowns, 3, 2, 1,..

    Got it.
    The OP stated having aquired 1 mil as a success or rather having "made it"
    I would have changed the defintion to being able to live off your trading.
    I remember years ago reading about day traders who managed to eke out a living with a 50k account. Each month they withdrew any trading profits and started the month with 50k.

    I don’t see that as a sound long term career move. if you aren’t building wealth then there’s lower risk higher return options in life.

    There is no reason not to build wealth, you just spend less than you make.
    I'm not a day trader, more a long term speculator.
    If you are a good as some of the posters claim to be then I don't see why you cannot live off your trading income and build wealth the same way someone with a regular job would.

    Kris has been working for an outfit called Stocksholm since 2021. Apparently it's some kind of monthly signal service that tells you which stocks to buy and which ones to drop from your portfolio (for a fee of course). I'm guessing he also still trades his own account,if he can find the time. My personal opinion is 2022 kind of kicked his ass. His long-bias breakout strategy stopped working. He has severely wiped his presence on social media as well.

    living off your trading and building wealth aren’t necessarily the same thing.

    Yeah. And if you can’t build a nest egg of 1mm in 10 years then you arent being properly compensated for the career risk you are taking.
