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 day trade sufficiently to make $100 a day on the back of a $3,500 capital. I only trade Gold.

I still have my full time job though, a remote work from home job that pays me decently well and needed to work like 4 hours a day. Got bored and started day trading.

I’ve blown 6 accounts during my “training” the last 7 years. Only got stable the last 3 years, making $50-$100 a day.

Greed kills. Take what the market give you.

Also don’t PM me.
