Hello,
I have been reading through the forums here and decided to make an account. I want to connect with other traders since as you all know, it is a very unique pursuit and it is very difficult to find others that can relate. I hope to provide good insights and promote good discussion here.
I think a good topic of discussion is your story of how you actually transitioned to becoming a fulltime trader. I imagine most members here have fulltime jobs and want to trade fulltime so it would be interesting to hear from those that actually resigned from their jobs to pursue trading.
Some of the things I am curious about:
Thank you all for reading and responding.

Some of the things I am curious about:
- What was "the" thing that made you take the plunge?
- Did you have someone else with income in the household such as a partner or parents? If not, what was your thinking like going into this?
- Without getting too specific, can you give others an idea of your account size? Do you need to have several hundred thousand or more to actually do this fulltime?
- What would you tell yourself in the past with what you know now?
- Any other advice, stories, etc.
Thank you all for reading and responding.
