ive been trading for 6 years, profitable for 3, considering going full time. my day job pays $95k, my trading P&L last year was $42k. on paper i could 'survive' full time but the variance scares me.
for those whove made the jump: was it worth it? did your trading actually get better with full focus or did the pressure of needing income hurt your decisions? specifically interested in the psychological transition.
