Want to Go Full-Time Trader?
👨💻 Be careful. The market can eat you alive.
Here’s your checklist. Miss even one — and don’t quit your job yet.
1
Can You Go 3 Months Without Trading?
📉 No trading. Just watching, studying, journaling.
➡️ If you can’t sit out, you’re not ready for full-time risk.
2
Have You Survived a 20% Drawdown — Calmly?
😰 Real money loss. No panic.
Still followed your plan?
➡️ Full-time means emotional control.
3
Do You Have 12 Months Living Expenses Saved?
🏦 Because the market doesn’t give you a salary.
Bad months WILL come. Be ready.
4
Have You Traded Profitably for 12+ Months?
✅ Consistent. Documented. Real money.
No one-off win streaks.
5
Can You Handle Isolation, Pressure, and Uncertainty?
🧠 It’s not a job. It’s a lifestyle — with high emotional cost.
Can your mindset handle it?
Go Full-Time When Trading Feels Boring — Not Exciting
🧘♂️ When you treat it like a business, not a thrill.
