A short YouTube video by Kardec Trader (uploaded April 30, 2023) advising against quitting one’s job to trade full-time. The speaker argues that relying solely on trading creates high stress and forces frequent, potentially poor trades; instead they recommend keeping a job while trading to reduce pressure and preserve better decision-making.
A lot of people want to leave everything and go into trading. And I always say, like, yeah, trading is a great vehicle. But if you have trading as your only vehicle, you will create an enormous amount of stress and pressure into your life. But if you have something else, even if you have a job, right, Whatever the job is, don't quit your job. Work your job. Trade. Because now you're not forced to trade every day. Because now imagine you don't have a job. You have nothing. You're just trading. You're going to wake up every day. Yeah, you're going to wake up every day. Like, I have to put on a trade. I quit my job. I quit everything. I have nothing else. I have to put on a trade that leads to a big mess.
