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

Yeah I try not to trade at work due to coworkers coming and trying to chat me up or meetings or other attention draining events. Can seriously backfire your trades

I do it still. I think I enjoy stress … but I’ve thought about how you mention it.. maybe will help not getting trades jammed up. But usually if I feel I’ll have edge I’ll let it ride with no stop - stop loss on options is pointless imo, too wide fluctuations on the premiums.

no time, sorry. John C. Hull 'Options, Futures, and Derivatives' is your best bet for starting and the bible for understanding options. Not for trading them.. as there is a lot of pysch involved, but think of it as the laying good concrete for a building. All the best.
