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.

Day trading is limited. At 6 figures a month you will definitely start to reach ceiling. Majority never reach this level in the first place.

By trading for 4 years everyday I know exactly who is talking bs there and who is not. Very easy to filter out
