I basically live at Starbucks once am done day trading for morning and sometimes I trade from there, so same people watch me go at it. 99% of the time when folks ask me if they should quit their job and become a trader, I tell them absolutely not to try it, what most are really asking if they can sit down next to me and pump out signals and hopefully by magic the 10,000 hours plus of screen time will transfer over to them. I think they have nice jobs and even nicer wife and family at home, often those who try get hooked and lose it all plus family dog. And yes, money does buy better medical care, I been to foreign countries to stay alive, to fight for another day, what else is there? I fought and worked harder than hell to become a decent trader, not going to let some illness not allow me to rob and steal like others had done towards me cause I was inexperienced. Pisses me off when other day when guy saw I was trading and said it is so easy, push some buttons and you have couple grand. I ask him what he did and he a plumber, and I said shoot that is easy job too, using wrench to take pipes apart or run a snake throw pipes, thought he was going to have a coronary, he got so angry yelling at me, how darn me to be a small bug to tell him his job and I said exactly, what gives you the right to saying pushing a button is easy. Not till you have money on the line are you in the game. Trading is most difficult as you have not clue if you lose or make money, unlike other businesses where it is either no sales-no money, but do have losses in rent, utilities and other expenses.

Wow, good stuff, thanks for sharing! Trading is much more difficult than having a business. I often work from starbucks-- when i get bored at home- smarter and cheaper than paying for an office! surf

coffee shops are great, but make it somewhere besides starbucks. I love them as a backup but find a local coffee house for a much better long term experience.

Agree, but the local joints are getting harder and harder to find. When i was in New Jersey, i worked from a very comfortable coffee place called Rock n joes. That was a cool place, here in south florida, i don't know any local joints. surf
