Maximum employability and employment earning power usually correlates with general ability, resourcefulness, intelligence, and willingness to work hard and make sacrifices. Those qualities would probably also correlate closely to viability of a career in trading. What this means is if you can't eventually fund your own trading venture, then your chances of success might be similarly limited. A pizza delivery guy who is in between jobs as an automation engineer or data scientist or project manager is on a different ability level from a pizza delivery guy who is a pizza delivery guy because he is not able to be successful at any more profitable endeavor. One could probably make a go at trading. The other, if you gave him $100k interest free with which to trade, would probably be broke in a year and be once more driving with a Domino's sign strapped to the top of his car. So I will give you the benefit of the doubt and postulate that you could have your funding within 5 years of hard work, and it would be all yours, with nobody else to answer to or to pay off. If your earnings are not such that you could not tighten the belt, eat ramen noodles and wear used clothes, and take in a roomie or two, and save $20k+ a year, then few potential angels would be confident in your success anyway.
For that matter, if you are confident of making $80/day with what you have, then moving to the right part of the country and living at an appropriate level of luxury (approx. zero, i.e. no air conditioning, no eating out, no expensive hair prods or cologne or other nonneccessary personal items) then you should be able to support yourself for a few months as you develop your strategy and prove it through all market conditions. Then maybe you could do a gofundme or something, with documented success behind you. Or at least have the confidence in yourself to go it yourself.
