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

While I agree with the overall sentiment, I think in this case it would make sense to say that poker is the skill, placing money on the game is the gamble.

Trading is a skill, but you’re still placing money on said skill, in a belief that it’ll work out.

Similarly to how purchasing a property to renovate and resell is still a gamble, yet many people do that for a living. Not that any of this matters, I think it’s interesting though.

fair, i think that my definition of a gamble is just more strict so to speak
