- Sport, First, it was truetype who made the comment. Secondly, you are clearly dealing with your intellectual superiors. Perhaps listening and learning is in order?

Oh. Well, Latin America is in the western hemisphere. I live in the USA. But my living expenses are low because I live frugally. I eat beans and rice and drive a shitty car. I do not go out to the movies 3 times a week. I do not pay for 5,623 cable channels I do not need. I do not live beyond my means. That is one of the ways one can make a living trading. Cut out the BS in your life that is for your own convenience and luxury as you grow your trading business.
If you have $100K in a brick-and-mortar store, you wouldn't be getting yourself into debt by having outrageous consumption habits, would you? No. You'd treat it as a serious business, and control your expenses. $100K capital in a trading account is the same damned thing. Man.
I imagine there may be regions within the United States that could fit the description..... I visited New Vrindaban, the hare krishna compound made out of gold, in WVA and it was def deliverance style third world on the way there. And i thought i had it rough growing up lower middle class in Pburgh ....

I dont think you can claim to be making a living from trading with just 2 months of live trading under your belt. Its great that you are profitable and I hope you have continued success. But saying this after two months is a bit premature.
Well, considering the level of profits I have as you see in the journal, which is INCOME, I am now making a living at it. Just because the money is still in the trading account does not mean the gains do no exist. I can't wire out money every week like a paycheck from ADP. The Feds look down on that sort of thing.
So what else can you come up with to poo-poo on the fact that I am making a living on it, eh? Are you another disbeliever, like Mr. Surf?
By the way, I know what you are thinking....
You think this is just some fly-by wanna-be claiming that the system is going to be 100% successful forever and ever. It is not that.
In fact, I will apologize to you for being critical on that second statement in your latest response. I see where you are coming from with that concern.
I guess it is where you live. we assume everyone is in the USA with similar or higher annual burn rates than the capital claimed to be used to make a living. But still, just to make $5000 per month on 100k is 60% returns--- I maintain my point, regardless of where you live.

Now the Feds are frowning on your wire requests?? I never heard this before, many folks wire daily and don't have fed issues. What's up with that?
