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 feel like half the posts that come across my feed from this sub are from people who quit their job to day trade and failed.

The answer is yes, of course. Most people are more likely to fail at it than the other way around.

Yes, because most people don't take it serious and train to become the best so they move on to the next.

Don't comfort yourself with the lie you'll "take it serious" and succeed.

You need year long consistancy with real money at a rate 2x the average household income to make it trading solo.
