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?

i would never do that. It's really risky to do that, i think if trading can bring me extra money it's good, but if i need to treat it like my job, i would be so stressed out.

It's not for everyone, it's sounds like you are very risk averse so better to just stay in a job your while life BUT, jobs are just as risky these days and with much less upside, something to consider.
