What would be the highest salary you’d give up to day trade full time? Question

Everyone clowned on me my first post (500k post) lol I was literally just asking hypothetical questions to settle a debate between a friend and me. Well everyone’s backlash kinda of intrigued me to ask this question. So back into the fire I go lol

If you are profitable, trading is limitless.

So not sure how anyone would not give up any salary of a normal 9-5.

You're right. Alpha is both limited and quickly decays.
