I want to do this full time but I have the sense to move slowly to goal. I'm still not saavy enough to pull that off in lieu of a paycheck. I'm getting better. When I consistantly make double than what I do at work, I'll quit the day job. I've read where a lot of people are getting burned. They're not smart enough to get trained first and gain the experience. The key here, I believe, is to slowly ramp up.

all i can do is shake my head when i get PM's with people asking how to day trade and that they want to do it full time......when i first started doing this full time 8 years ago i almost got buried in my first two years......i lost a couple hundred g's doing this before i found my nitch and i'm STILL learning.....this is a very tough nut to crack but if you can make it through the learning stage you can do very well at this....but for those of you who think they can jump right in and do this full time after making a couple good trades you better think again.........my day starts at 4am pst. and i spend about 12 to 15 hours a day doing this and as you can see i work on the weekends too................but i love it now and have never felt so solid about my trading style and the beauty of it is you can do this job anywhere in the world.
