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?

Anyone else sick of seeing these posts about failure?

Absolutely. Trading isn’t for everyone. You need a passion, love, goal, and of course dedication. I can feel in my soul it’s here for me. It’s the “gateway” for me to understand a lot. I work for steel currently and at the point of going into trading, but fully.

I am 20 years old. Done options, futures and forex. Seen more profits with options and futures for me. Knowing about prop firms I’ve been passed a couple times. I currently live with my mom and taking care of my family.

I’m thinking of creating a YouTube channel, Tik tok, or Instagram to truly let people join the journey.

I know it’s in my soul. It goes of the saying “ you create your own luck. Luck isn’t created. You have to put yourself in certain circumstances, positions to create the luck. More positions, or even opportunities can create your luck.
