I will admit that I have a job as a staff appraiser for an insurance company. Sometimes I start my job early in the morning before the market opens and try to get back by 9:30am. Im talking arriving at people's houses at 6:30am, taking quick pictures and then leaving just as quick. Other times I will wait until the afternoon to start my trading.

Quote from YoungOne:

This is kind of off topic but I was wondering how much do you guys think is the minimum capital necessary in order to make a living off of trading?

It is a relative simple math question. Your CONSISTENT profits after taxes and comissions and other costs should cover the expenses of your living.

The hard part is to estimate "consistent profits" for a newbie. As a starter you can guess zero or a loss...
 
I am a private speculator, trading my own money. I guess it's full time. I do not have a job. Hard to think of it as full time when I might be walking the beach, fishing or taking a nap. Following trends can be soooo boring zzzz ooh look I caught a fish!
