Many people in the space deal with this issue
For some, they need a steady income so they dont fumble positions
For others, it's a hedge against the market
Maybe they need to post a salary to get that mortgage
You never know someone's situation, and most people can't trade with discipline like trissy

imo, the perfect middle ground is working for a research firm. You get to touch multiple sectors, narratives, and teams without blinkers on, all whilst managing a portfolio on the side.
Shit maybe you can lead investment memo research or create content around your thesis and monitoring of your trades.
If this sounds like the fit for you, DM me.
Just choose Castle.
