lol. comparing pit traders to screen jockeys is like saying a drone pilot can fly a plane!!

good pit traders had the fkow had the info could mark up or down ticks on 50 lots 100 lots when the sp500 was BIG! ticks were all it took to make big money! over and over.

Comparing farming with this business. Not-wise.

If you can't ,,make it" in farming, then, well... Oh nvm. The end.

You can get a good at most hobbies after 1000 hours and mastery after 10,000.

But day trading i'm not so sure. And even if you become profitable after months/years of hard work, your edge(s) can still disappear.

Many profitable day traders have given up/ blown up after years of making money.

Master tap dancing and as long as you remain fit and healthy that skill isnt going anywhere.

That is why I have an investment account and a trading account. The ratio is better than 10:1
My investment now is largely in cash, buying every month a small amount. The trading account is for the e-mini only and I have very limited options trading, mainly as insurance, if needed.

There are always government jobs. I just drove from Colorado to Texas through New Mexico, and all three were advertising for correction officers/prison guards, starting at about $20/hour. You get to release your frustration over having failed as a trader by brutalizing people... sounds like a reasonable next step!

Oh man. Funny at first, but damn, sad as well. Ofcourse, i made a joke too.

Everyone can ,,make it" in such field. (Minus disabilities etc)
And 20$ per hour - sign me in.
I used to make 10€ in my day job.

Hmnn. Bahhh. Da hell... In the end, it's all about this :
