Why not? I'm already better than 90% everywhere else. No joking. I don't even try that hard and I sill perform better than 90% at work compare to everyone else even people who's been there for 20 years.
When is the right time to quit your job and trade full time?

I would consider that as bad. But winning is winning I suppose...
Truehajimow ...... Your observation is based purely on hindsight, it's a myth that "Everyone Is A Genius In A Bull Market". I would say that most people, and especially on ET are short term traders - not the buy-and-hold type. An experienced trader can easily lag the overall market, or even lose money in a "Bull Market" with long positions - it's all in the timing.
And anybody that does hang on to AAPL during a lengthy bullish run is a good trader - he doesn't got shaken out during the downturns.
Uh no, it was like mid 600s if I remember right.
Fair enough.
If +200% ROI in 2 months (in retail account terms) is bad, then what do you consider to be good?!
Really ? Try creating an automated trading system to beat those trading stats.
Nearly impossible.
You should be right. I don't trade AAPL so I was not exact on the range.
So my estimate of his profitability in dollar terms was close ?
The OP asked:

The answer is never.
Giving up a good job to trade is probably the single most foolish thing a person can do careerwise.
