I feel differently about this topic, as I have been unemployed in the past and didn't really think about day trading then. After unexpectedly losing my job, my main concern was paying bills and not getting kicked out of the apartment. Day trading might seem as a solution, but it doesn't given us reliable returns and could even make things worse if we lose money. In my situation I didn't have any large savings and it would have been difficult to start day trading without some initial bankroll. There are definitely successful day traders out there that made a lot of money from it, but they worked towards that goal and have experience. Without any previous experience or knowledge I would advice against using your last money during times of crisis. If we really want to become day traders then I would first start out part time, while we still have the security of a regular income that can cover potential losses.
Losing a job can put additional pressure on us as we know that trading failure can make the situation we are in much worse.
I agree that we need to accumulate experience when we have favorable conditions for this. When we can afford to fail and it will not affect us in such a way that we may lose our home, or be left without money at all. I do not consider myself an experienced trader, but I see how difficult it is to count on a daily income from trading, some transactions may become long-term, and part of the trading deposit will no longer be available for some time.
On the time that you had been laid out or kicked on your work and then it do goes into your mind about having that trading option for you to make a living? It would really make things worst.We know that trading is
something that could give chance for you to make money but its not something that would really be fixed and its not something a skill that you would really be able to gain up on a short period of time on which
it would really be just that not ideal if you do go ahead and make it a replacement.Instead on making money or earning income with it, you would rather definitely be losing even more funds
which it would really be adding up in overall problem you do have.
Dont make it as a replacement but rather make it first as a side hustle on which you could still make practice for long time.On the time that you do see that you could be able
to sustain yourself on a volatile market then it would really be the best time for you to make yourself quitting your job and go full time with trading.
