Don’t aspire to become a full time trader unless you have 1cr covering your family for next 4-5 years and another 50-75 lakhs in trading capital.

You have to be really lucky to start with 25-50L as all the money you got and win in the markets.

Those who made good money in 2018-2020 did so because of their trading prowess, yes.

But you CAN NOT discount the “right time right place” aspect of it.

Liquidity was very good, markets were kind, trendiness helped people make money, especially intraday.

You can’t bank on the assumption that it would be the same going forward.

To be a great trader, you need to be a damn good risk manager.

If you’re not managing the risk of you going bust, you don’t stand a chance.

So, keep your job. Hate your boss all you want. Switch companies maybe.

Switch to a better workplace, better location, whatever. But don’t let your job go.

Or your business/any source of cashflow.

That’s the lifeline as a trader who’s under 5yo in markets.
