When I went full time it was after I put concept into reality i.e. consistent profitability over multiple months in "bad" conditions in 2022.
Maybe it wasn't long enough but I jumped in head first bc I wanted this more than anything in the world and I knew I needed to dedicate every moment I could to the craft in the pursuit of growth bc being just profitable doesn't mean you're good enough to support a family and outperform benchmarks.
I had enough money to cover irl expenses for a period of time, but I didn't have enough capital in markets in hindsight.
It made me risk adverse i.e. couldn't afford to blow up
I couldn't afford to pull more money from the bank as it would decrease my runway and only add pressure.
It made sizing up a challenge as I kept pulling money out to bolster defenses in the bank instead and try to decrease day to day stress.
It intensified every trade, kept my baseline stress and anxiety levels very high.
It was immense, self-imposed pressure for a long time.
If I had a job/income alongside I KNOW a lot of these issues would have been immediately alleviated bc I would have the comfort to know I'll be fine regardless of outcome.
BUT having a job would have also severely diminished the reps, hours and experience I got and imo it would have taken me A LOT longer to get to where I wanted to be.
The self-imposed pressure also ended up being a blessing as I feel more calm in tense times now. Feels like I was training with a weighted vest or whatnot.
There's a give and take imo.
Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing.
I think what Don is saying is extremely good advice and in fact the advice I give everyone as well, I just wanted to share my viewpoint as someone who did it a different way.
I've been diving into @pear_protocol recently folks and liking what I'm seeing.
Definitely still getting my head around a pair trade and will do my first one today. Any of you tried?
Looking forward to a pointer or two on the live call in little less than 3 hours.
