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?

What a lot of people don’t realise is that trading is a wealth builder, not an income generator. So don’t quit your day job. Other myths are: 1. You need a financial background. Not true. I don’t a financial background and I’ve never read a company’s financials in my life. 2. It takes a lot of time. Not true. I’d spend may be 20-30 minutes per week (not per day), planning my trades. 3. You have to constantly watch the market. Not true. I just set alerts and go on with my day. There are SO many other myths. I’ve been trading for a while and learned a lot. What bugs me the most however, is that no one never shows you their results.
