Trading full time from home.

Yes. Intraday. Win percentage - 67%.. But I have averaged lots here and there. You can see one big leap and the next day i lost almost all that day's profit. That was the only tilt I had.

Oh duh, wasn't thinking about the chart. Right, you've got a steady uptrend in your equity curve, that's pretty impressive.

How many trades do you per day?

I think you could do well going full-time, the question is can you handle the pressure of larger size.
 
I would say it looks like you have done well in a few months with a small account but in order to do this full time you need a larger account and to be consistently profitable for the last few years/. So unless you have done that I would get a night job and keep trading.

You never mentioned a dollar amount in your original post. 50 to 100k is theoretically a sufficient amount if you have great skills. I am trading fully automated with about $110,000 and have no intentions on trying to live off of profits from my trading account. Each situation is different though. Best of luck!

Thank You and good luck with your trading. I am looking to achieve financial freedom and not tied to 9-5 job. I hate requesting someone so that I can take a day off. We all are different and see things in different ways. :)

Any traders who quit job and started trading full time from home/office?

Been doing it for years.

Careful about being lazy/undisciplined. Easy to neglect trading for a bit for outside distractions. (Not a good idea to take time off away from the screen to get a hair cut, go to the store, or get a message with a happy ending. Save all of that for after market hours.)

I am a software engineer and works from home. These trades were taken while at work. :D
