Trading should be a plan B, not a plan A

I’ve seen a lot of people go all-in on trading too early. They quit their job, put all their focus on the markets, and hope it will replace their income quickly.

The problem is that trading takes time to become consistent. If things don’t work out right away, you can end up in a very difficult position financially.

In my opinion, trading should start as a side activity while you still have stable income. Only once it becomes consistent enough should it even be considered as a full-time option.
