Quote from asap:
the problem here is that trading is not a job. trading is like sucking in mom's tit even though you no longer an infant. especially if haven't accomplished anything meaningful in your professional career yet. trading is only emotionally and socially viable for those that have already done their share for society otherwise, their peers will look down on them, including family, regardless of how much money they make while trading. they'll be seen as a failure, a nutcase and an anti-social. it is not about money, it is about your inter-personal skills. if you're trading, you're just spinning the wheel in front of a computer screen. obviously, no one will ever appreciate what you do.
