Same question. Is this a joke?

Is this a joke?

Well, I've made 200% in 2 weeks before. Consecutive days of positive returns. I thought that was pretty good.

Trading without an income is psychologically different then already having an income and doing it part time. I've done it and there's a lot of pressure on you when you don't have an income. Just keep that in mind.

True

I would consider that as bad. But winning is winning I suppose...

Why not? I'm already better than 90% everywhere else. No joking. I don't even try that hard and I sill perform better than 90% at work compare to everyone else even people who's been there for 20 years.

Bull and bear market doesn't really concern me. I believe I mentioned that already. I would have thought people got the hint and meaning behind it. :) AAPL is at 200 now???

I dislike interacting with people too. However, I'm pretty socially savvy. I have to do a lot of 'sucking up' to the big people just so I can do my job. Especially to the secretaries for my bosses. If I didn't have to spend so much time sucking up I might be able to actually get work done quicker.

I think anything with low probabiliy of success as gambling. The only way to overcome anything with low odds is to have some kind of an edge. I consider successful trading as gambiling with an edge. I'm not concern with bulls or bears market. I think my system is robust enough to accomodate...

Oh why do you call yourself lucy for?

-I've consider taking time off. Maybe requesting a few hours off each day. However to the Fed, an employee that is taking a lot of time off for is kind of suspicious. -I'm not gonna use my vacation time to try to trade. I don't think it's necessary to take time off to 'test' it. There should be...

Are you NoDoji?

Wow. You're still here?

Not sure what you mean. If you think Fed workers are lazy, that's simple not true. Sure a lot are, but who do you think is picking up the slack. Don't know why you needed to be insulting. That's one of my main concern about trading full time. While working has it's con's, at the very least it...

That's okay. I was really seeking some ideas and advice. I think I more then capable of creating my own descision from that. Currently, my plan is if my trading can make double the amount I am making right now. I would quit. I'm not concern with how much I need to make. I trade and make...

Everyone needs a job. Fed jobs are stable from what I hear. Trading was getting a little boring. Now I understand why it's still better then working. I've been able to make 10% in one DAY before. If you're only investing in index funds then 10% is reasonable. But I've been able to capture high...

Wow. There's a more replies and follow up questions then I was expecting. I'm gonna try to answer whichever ones I can. Don't be offended if I skip yours. It's not personal. :). Page 1. Originally, trading was supposed to be a backup plan in case the fed job didn't work out. Honestly, I don't...

Technically, trading would be LESS of a waste of brain and soul then working for my employer. I'm not a gambler either. I agree, trading is technically gambling.

A little history. I am a experienced trader. Went back into the work force a year ago to build up money. I already have a developed trading system going on. I work for the fed and dislike everything about my job and just want to quit and trade. Trading is my main passion. No family. In my 20's...
