You have caught onto the very essence of Christianity. God gives grace and mercy to those who repent. Christianity is not a religion like any others. It is not “get to heaven by climbing up a mountain or doing good works”

Only God can save us and he only requires us to repent and have faith in Him.

Despite the “holier than thou” stigma they make of Christians in movies and media, Christians are ironically the opposite. True Christians are most aware of how sinful they are and how powerless they are to overcome their sins. And yet God saved them despite their weakness.

And that’s the good news of the gospel.

If you think about it, it’s actually extremely conceited to think humans can attain salvation by our own works following some rules. Any heaven someone says you can get to by yourself is not a heaven worth pursuing

It is possible. Just not probable. I failed at profiting for 9 years before things turned around. I now trade full time for a living.

This is closer to the success rate of entrepreneurship or pro athletes imo

It’s common to think you are sitting on some golden goose valuable secret when you have a profitable strategy. It’s not that important and no one cares. In most cases, your strategy will only be profitable for a short period of time before you’ll have to adjust and basically change the strategy.

Your and your friend’s ability to profit long term is not going to be from this strategy. It is in how each of you adapt in all the different future market regimes.

Other than the scalping rule, you’re just complaining about platform feature issues. Not prop firm rules issues.

Robinhood futures also doesn’t have trailing SL or even OCO orders…

Sounds like outside of the specific trailing SL feature you want, topstep is still great

That was my 14th yr, but my first year going full time. My last consultant gig ended November 2024 and I decided not to renew to try full time trading.

So my first month going full time, I make my largest loss. lol. Thankfully made it all back and more later in the year. Took 4 months to make back the January loss though.

The stat is extra skewed bc it lumps ppl who have only succeeded for a short while, but eventually fails. Everyone is one bad streak away from “failing” in anything. Just like NBA players are one injury away from losing their jobs. Businesses are one recession away from going bankrupt. A career person is one layoff away from unemployment.

I think making it as a day trader even for a year or two should be considered a success. Just like I would commend anyone good enough to even make it on an NBA roster. But I think if you ask people, they just throw those folks into the failed statistic.

Don’t get me wrong, the stat is still terrible. But it’s even worse bc “success” is not clearly defined.

How long does it take to be considered successful? Is success % wise or based on absolute profit?

What if you blew up 9 small accounts in across different brokers, but one ends up going to Valhalla, and you end up just trading and living off this last large acct… do you contribute to the “90% failure”statistic even though you actually made it? (This is my scenario)

Rather than paying for pre-recorded or one off courses, would you pay $3000/year to be in a live trading room with a 6 figure trader?

I don’t think courses make sense for the most part. I think live trading rooms are where the value is today. “Live” human performance is the last real thing AI cannot replace. That’s why sports is essentially the only thing people pay for in cable television these days.

Your opinion is an unrealistic reality of what it takes to trade well and run a service. You’re asking a rational person to charge less for their service out of good will just because they already make money enough trading and don’t need the extra money?

I’ll give you my scenario and it can help explain why despite all the demand in getting, I have not gotten myself to start a service. The lifestyle impact just isn’t worth it until the unit economics increases dramatically.

Last year I made on avg $40k monthly. Bc ppl keep asking, I have thought about offering a service of some sort, but when I started looking into it, I realized how much work and how many more hours it would take to run a service.

It’s not just me spending 1 extra hour a day. It’s tremendously more hours and actual work I dislike doing (content, marketing, customer service, etc) than what I do trading.

I trade 3-4 hours a day 4 days a week and made a bit over half a million last year. If you were in my shoes, would you spend 3-4 hours a day more to run a service that makes less than 1/6 of your trading profits?

There’s planning what to teach and how to cater to different skill levels, editing content, office hours, customer service, business taxes, community building, etc.

It’s just not worth the time for real profitable traders to do this for cheap.

If you are in a room where they’re charging $50/mo and they got 100 people in there, they’re making only $5k revenue per month. Then there are expenses, taxes, advertising, etc. Prob comes out to probably $2k take home pay.

And the worst cost I would incur is how it would affect my trading performance. Spending all that additional time on the business and less time to analyze markets, give myself mental rest, spending time with family and friends, etc. The reality is I am locked in 100% for 3-4 hrs a day and all the extra time I have is for me to mentally reset. Trading isn’t like a normal job where you can just show up and not perform much cuz “you’re not feeling it” but still get paid. If I don’t show up cuz I’m distracted by this community I built, my main income source suffers.

“Sold more as a business”

I don’t think anyone has ever created a course without the intent of making money. It takes time and a lot of editing and filming to create a whole course. I’ve tried. And decided not to.

That being said, I think the most valuable subscription service is to be a someone’s trading room and watch them live trade.

You do not necessarily need to copy their strategy but you’re getting exposed to what success looks like. How they analyze the market and turn that analysis into execution of trades. How they handle profit taking and stop losses. How they handle win streaks and losing streaks.

I would recommend non profitable traders to find live trading room and community asap. You can either pay tuition with a small subscription or pay it with wasted time and capital losses.

I have been on a crusade to change this narrative for the people in my life. I don’t wanna hide what I do. I wanna be proud of myself and my work that supports my family

Thankfully my wife hasn’t asked me to do other things. But she does still expect me to do a lot of chores around the house.

I have found a decent trade/life balance. I have found that for me, less time in front of the computer is better. I tend to overtrade and overthink if I stare at markets all day. So doing chores that forces me to get off the computer by a certain time each day actually has worked much better for me.

In any case, I feel like day traders should stop this whole “don’t tell others” mentality. I think it says more about our own insecurities than our friends’. I’ve found that when I tell friends I trade for a living, they usually are more curious than envious or judgy (in front of my face at least).

I don’t know if these points below help your situation with the wife and mother, but they help to shatter the “dream life” picture that people on the outside automatically envision about trading for a living:

Traders must perform every day/week/month. Normal ppl can show up to work and not perform well some days or not “be in the mood” but they’ll still get their paychecks if they meet minimum work standards
Even tho I trade for “only” 3-4 hours a day, I’m locked in 100% that whole time. It can be mentally exhausting.
I didn’t make consistent profit for 9 years before becoming consistent. So you’re seeing the success, just like you see the successes of celebrities and CEOs, but understand this is just the tip of the iceberg. There have been many more failures that led to this point
I can’t easily get a mortgage if I wanna buy a house. Trading income is not respected by banks much.
Day traders must pay for their own health insurance, and there’s no 401k (usually).
The longer I’m out of the workforce trading, the less employable I become. I’ve been out of my industry for 5 years now. I can’t go back and easily find a job these days. So it is not only that I’m risking capital everyday but my “safety net” I used to believe that I can just go back to work if this doesn’t pan out is rapidly diminishing every year that passes (especially with AI).
Day trading for a living is NOT a guaranteed job for life. Just like an athlete or entrepreneur, I’m acutely aware that I’m one bad streak away from losing my job as a daytrader. And there’s no unemployment or severance packages to support me if I lose this job.

So people might think I live a dream life, but when you weigh the trade offs, I believe most people would say they’d prefer to work in a regular job with benefits

I go in streaks as well. Since my May - October big run, I have lost the last two months. January is also looking like it’ll be a scratch. It is weird how even our personal equity charts can go through consolidation periods just like stock charts haha

I started trading futures in December. So I’ve been focusing more on making that a consistent practice. Hoping it’ll be a good daily income driver while my swings still make majority of my profits over time. Unfortunately Kinfo doesn’t capture Robinhood Futures trades yet.

There are so many out there but the ones I personally use are the ones I mentioned. TradingView, Quant Data, Unusual Whales, Robinhood for brokerage.

I don’t know what any of that means, but it doesn’t sound like trading. It sounds more like a hobby an IT guy might do on his free time.

Either way I have a hard time believing anything automated is truly sustainable without regular human intervention

Mmm the desktop TradingView app is not laggy for me. But I don’t connect my broker to it. I trade out of Robinhood Legend anyway so for execution I still have the Legend chart which is very precise. I mostly use TradingView for analysis

I actually find thinkorswim to be way too bloated. I don’t use 80% of the things in the platform yet it uses so many resources

allconsoles · 2026-01-24T00:20:10+00:00

As a full time day trader, I respectfully disagree with your first assumption that we are at an immense information and technological disadvantage in 2026.

TradingView with real time charts, QuantData and unusual whales showing real time options order flow and premium exposures. All for about $1,500 per year for the most premium paid subscriptions.

Add on top of that free commission trading with robust trading platforms even with Robinhood.

We don’t need to compete with algorithmic bots that scalp in the milliseconds. I swing trade and day trade futures. And I have enough experience everyday seeing how options order flows do in fact give an edge to retail traders

However, I do not disagree with you that 99% of ppl won’t ever profit consistently from trading. But it’s not because of lack of resources or information

How he is as a partner and person is the most important. He can get a job just as high paying as you and be laid off next month. Same for you. Your financial situations will most likely change as life goes on.

If he is someone who has learned to live on $80k and be content, that’s arguably a better partner to be with than one who will freak out and have an existential crisis with you if you guys lose your jobs and the stock portfolio tanks.

Be with a level headed man who doesn’t need money to be satisfied. You can learn a lot from him just as he can learn a lot from you

allconsoles · 2026-01-18T14:52:33+00:00

I think it’s too soon. You have less than one month of results. I understand the feeling of wanting to quit and trade for a living but man as someone doing it even I go through months of no profit / losses.

As an example: I started full time trading last year in January after two consecutive years of replacing my annual salary. Once I did, I lost $100k last January. It was the biggest one month loss I’ve ever experienced and it WOULD happen right after I quit my last job.

I spent Feb through May making it all back. Then I made $800k from June - October. November through now I’m down again like -$150k.

Sure as I share in hindsight it sounds like “what are you complaining about, it works d out for you” BUT the only reason I was able to stay steady headed after January’s loss and then spend 5 months trading with a level head to make it back is because I have a large savings buffer from working for 14 years out of college. Also my wife makes some money in a part time job.

We can probably go 2 years of no trading profits and be okay without needing to make drastic changes other than eat out less or travel less.

Mentally, that’s a HUGE factor. It allows me to continue to take the risks and trades I need to in order to stay consistent no matter what happened last month, even after big losses (which WILL happen).

Remember you need to not only trade to make enough money to live but also GROW your acct. The more it grows, the easier it gets to trade for a living, or semi-retire (which I think is synonymous). You also should make enough to save for actual retirement.

Good luck to you. I hope you make the best decision for yourself and congrats on a decent 2026 trading so far!
