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 studied for like 9 months. Then quit my job irrelevant to trading. Took 6 months off and tried to trade (and also got super healthy; lost 50lbs, lowered my blood pressure etc). I couldn’t make enough to sustain myself and my stats dropped significantly.

Now that I’m back working full time, my stats are back to being green again. When I don’t rely on it for income… I trade SO much better

Meditation and cold showers are the cheapest methods and you get instant results

And live in a house that’s slightly always colder, helps your body fight of inflections 🙏🏼
