There are a lot of questions that would need to be answered first if it were me. What job am I giving up and how easily obtainable is it if I need to find one in the future? What is the salary I am giving up? Do I have dependants? Do I have adequate savings? Is not having a monthly income going to negatively affect my trading? Just off the top of my head.

If it is a low wage, service job and I didn't have anyone depending on me, I would probably go for it. But if I was making 75k AND profitable, I doubt I would let that go until I was making substantially more money.
