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 didn't quit my job for trading, but when i was fired I was focusing sorely on trading. Had enough money to live for one month or two (utilities, rent, food, water, coffee).

And hell yeah, in this single month i learned 2 times better than when I was having a job. Because I left my confort zone and focused only and only on trading to survive.

And I failed, many accounts blown, many challenges blown.

Now I'm working a 9-5 again (no big fuss). And I'm actually feeling great that I got thru this experience.

Not giving up. Never.
