I logically know that quitting my job is a terrible idea and I don't have a big enough safety net to justify even trying it... But how am I supposed to stay focused at work?! Full-time PM traders, at what point did you make the leap? I know as soon as I quit I'll start losing ๐
@usedibs Oh, I don't watch anything that I bet on tbh. But I definitely do spend too much time on my phone. That time is going toward managing my bets though, not watching.
@TazLabs Thanks, I mostly use statistical modeling but it depends on the market. My mentions picks are all modeled, sports is about 50/50 between gut & modeled picks
@flwrinagraveyrd Understandable, yeah it's easy to hype myself up after several months of green. But it can change quick & I would need to be comfortably into the six figure range for it to be remotely doable I think. Thanks.
@SeddyBets It's a long way away & far from certain, but I like to try to plan things out & that seems like just about the ideal point to make the jump. Thanks
@Thanks4TheColor Thanks for the input. 1 is a huge and very real risk, and I like to tell myself that 2 couldn't happen, since I'm spread out among so many markets. But that's definitely possible too. Even something like a fee increase could be huge.
@Foster Wow, that's insane to have done so well while living on such a small port. I also tend to undersize my bets (ironically I never gamble outside of this.) appreciate the insights, it's also cool getting some OG PM trader lore! I'll keep holding out until my eventual firing haha.
