How did you save up enough to trade?

No the first time was a telephone and a broker with money from my swimming pool cleaning business that I had in my hometown....
The second time...was my mothers money and an option signal service when I was in my late 20's.
The third time, was my money (and Wifeys
) and a system that I wrote. Currencies seem to click with me. Correlations and the interaction with each other around the globe fascinate me.
But I am writing this while I am trading the heck out of an edge, that I recently discovered. (I am frantically searching for a second edge to cover this one when it stops working to protect me emotionally. I like to have an ace in the hole at all times)
My best times are when I am developing a system...the boring job of execution is not what i like. I also believe automation will put me out of a job, so i do not have anything to contribute there.

No ...not one...
I robbed a liquor store at gun point and sold crack rocks. I reccomend you begin doing this before you turn 18.
I actually just saved my money from odd jobs in college and lived like a cheap bastard.

Followed the "pay yourself 10% first" plan espoused in George Clason's "The Richest Man in Babylon." It got me out of debt AND funded my trading accounts. Every so often, after I've saved up a few grand or so, I'll drop it on bills or add to the trading account. Basically, I'm treating trading like it's a lower-priority, interest-bearing account.
