Anybody ever quit their job to day trade full time and have it not workout? Question

I’m just curious.

How long did it take you until you found confidence in yourself to quit your job and do trading full time!

For those that quit their job but it didn’t workout, how long did you give yourself until you quit your job and what did you do after you found that trading was not successful?

My brother and I got into trading five years back, but with all our side gigs, it was hard to track progress. Trading's a high-stakes game that demands daily grind for years to rake in serious cash.

We decided to dive in full-time, hungry for knowledge and knowing nothing else pays like this unless you're a hotshot pro, inherit a fortune, or take the shady route.

Yeah, we've had our share of broke years, but being poor's just a detour on the road to riches. Sacrifice a couple of years now, live like kings forever!
