Working as a civil servants have always been my thing, I work from Monday to Friday which to me is normal, I feel proud doing it until I started trading bitcoin.
Trading started making me see things differently, because I no longer wait for my monthly salary, now I earn money daily and week, due to the kind of large amount of money I make in trading I fell out of love for my civil service job, because the money is small but it is still a decent salary.
Note: in trading I earn base on performance, but even though the market is too bad, I still earn a decent amount of money out of it in a month base on my level in trading.
My question is guys which do you prefer, a steady monthly salary which you know that no matter what, it must come once the month ends or a business/ trading/ any other thing which you can do that you earn base on performance and you have the capacity to earn ten fold of what a civil servants might earn if you are good at it, but there is also a possibility that you may have a bad day in the office which you may even incurred some loss.
Which do you prefer an why.
It's been a few years since I was a day trader on a crypto exchange. And I also admit that this activity is quite fun because I am not bound by time and place. Thank God even I can provide for my family from every profit I earn from my daily trading. but I withdraw profits only within a week. because I am a scalping type of trader. I earn little by little every day. I collect and I withdraw every week to spend on my household needs.
But it is also necessary to know the fact that maybe you should know that being a day trader is not easy. even in the first year I started day trading. I can't have consistent profits. because at that time I had not mastered the psychology of trading and the market. Analysis in trading (technical, fundamental and sentimental) can indeed help us get profit and make us understand market conditions and when to enter and exit. and makes it easier for us to determine where to buy and sell points. it's just that all of that can be in vain if we are not good at managing our emotions. so it is important to learn emotional management / trading psychology. Sharpen mentally and stick to the results of the analysis that we have made carefully.
so you can say I am comfortable with my choice as a trader. but I am also happy with the salary I receive from Signature in this Forum. that I can collect for my long term investment. and I invest for my children's later education and also my and my wife's old age.
everyone must have their own choice where they are more comfortable in the choice of work and various types of income. but I'm comfortable with my current state.
