Hi to all,

I am doing small level trading for the past 2 years.... along with my current IT job...

Would like to know is there people doing trading on a daily basis as profession... and also is there any people who have quit there jobs for the sake of Trading...???

For the past few months, the thought of quitting my current job and to take up trading more seriously is crossing my mind.... so thought of getting all your expertise and advices....

Please offer your views...

Thanks..

Hi Shaju,

I was a doctor by profession.......but the last many years have been trading for my daily bread.

To cut a highly tedious long story short,trading was my passion,medicine was my profession.Used to work mornings and trade the US markets in the nights......But once regular profits started to come in,and the income was much,much more from trading than medicine,at a certain point,it became ridiculous to hold on to something that I was not that bothered about anyway.......Medicine gave way to full time trading.

Have I felt that I should run back to Medicine at any time?Not so far....

Is it all a bed of roses?No way.The months when you don't earn from the markets,you wish that you were a doctor earning a regular income,or a trader giving some seminars,or making some money off newsletters,etc. There is a lot of pain that you have to endure,it's a tumultous path to huge incomes.........But if you can sort it all out,and you have a set capital to fall back on,and you have an understanding family,nothing beats this path.

Would I change this for anything in the world?No way!!

Should you quit your job and take up full time trading?Well,for a start,trade part time and see if you have what it takes to do this.Meanwhile build up a good capital,not only capital to trade,but something that you can fall back upon.And then see..........if you have the capital,and all the rest that is required off you and the guts to travel this path,welcome to the club.

All the best!
