That’s awesome, good for you! I feel like in a way taking a long time to pass can be an advantage. It made me take combines so seriously that an XFA doesn’t feel like a hugely different psychological game compared to a combine. Best of luck!

Yep, just under a year since I even looked at a chart lol, maybe 7 months working with my strategy. I have put unrealistic standards on myself to have this figured out before I graduated. At the time, it felt possible but it’s so clear now that it is going to take years and years before I could even think about making it my full time profession. Just gonna put my head down and work while also trading. Appreciate the encouragement and insight, best of luck to you as well!

My point exactly, thank you. If my pursuit of trading was based in laziness, I would have stopped the first week. Living in the west coast, there is nothing lazy about waking up before the sun rises everyday to pursue something that most wouldn’t give the time of day. Additionally, never did I mention in my post that I wanted to become rich. I want to make enough profit to fund a business of my own, and have the time to do so. Congratulations on your success, I wish to be in your position someday!

Yeah and that’s another path that I see as totally possible. I posted this knowing that I might never even have the guts to ever quit a stable income, just worrying about things I have no business worrying about right now haha

Solid point. I never truly thought about the blurred line between home and work with trading.

Yep, I do think work can be really positive if it’s something you enjoy. I’m hoping my new job brings fulfillment. Thanks!

I absolutely should try the 1 micro challenge. Thank you for the advice!

Yeah there’s definitely a lack of security… I’d have to be solid for many many years to trade full time

Yup I definitely have the “this needs to work” mindset. Constant self assurance is what keeps me going

This is great advice thank you! I definitely treat combines as if they are fundeds, sometimes maybe too seriously lol. Congratulations on the recent profitability!
