It is a wiser choice than leaving a job in the real world and switching to trading where it is not certain whether we will get a decent profit or not, but what is clear is that there is always a risk in trading.
This is the best way to do it, as you said, keep doing your job as usual and trade when you have free time. Actually, we can trade when we are on holiday. The problem is when we leave work and choose to trade while we are still in the learning stage, it will backfire on us. Except for those who may be very professional in trading, they will understand better when facing certain situations.
Apart from that, I think it would be better to have many sources of income than to rely on just one source, especially since we know that in trading we will not always make a profit, there are times when we experience losses.
It would really be that a suicide thing if you would really be leaving up your current job just because you have decided on going full time with trading. You are really that basically putting up yourself on such great trouble. We do know that when it comes into this aspect then it would be ideal that you should really be making yourself that sustainable first before quitting or resigning from your work. WE do know that this market cant really be always giving out that positive results into your trades on which it will really be that understandable that on the time or moment that you able to reach out such state about being a good trader
then its something that could be considered to be a lifetime job on which as long you do have the skills and knowledge and on the time that you could sustain yourself on this market then this is really that an advantage. It is really just that only a few could really be able to reach out such condition because majority will really be that making trading as their side income. Only a few could be able to
directly be making up that full time trades and making a living with it.
There are various reasons why many people make trading as an additional income, one of which is that they are fully aware that when they make the decision to focus on trading completely, they are putting themselves at great risk. It is not that you cannot make trading your main and only income, but the problem is that it is not as imagined.
I don't know the valid data on this, but as you said I also believe that only a few people make trading their main source, while others only make this as additional income or in other words they have other sources of income that are more stable.
Indeed, if we think about the benefits that will be obtained, we will certainly be very tempted by it, but I have said many times that it is worth the risk.
