How are you doing in the market? The market ALWAYS amazes me, every single day.

I have to go back to my day job next Wednesday, it's so sad.

Pat, what does it take to become a successful full time trader? Should I quit my day job? When? I have two full time jobs (programming and trading) now but this cannot continue forever because I don't have enough energy to handle them. I need more sleep. The problem is, my day job is the only source of income for my family.

Well, stupid questions.

Hope you have a very nice weekend.

D.
