Saying goodbye to my 9-5 job

One of the last days I ever worked a job… My first year I practiced day trading while working from home. The first 2 years I did everything wrong. I wasn't managing risk, I wasn't setting proper trade plans, l was scalping and overtrading, and I wasn't even aware of risk to reward. About 2 years into trading, I slowed down, I switched to swing trading, and I "started over." I gave up on the indicators, I stopped watching YouTube, I stopped risking so much money and I focused on solidifying my strategy and sticking to trading the same way every time. I then joined a program and watched them live trade, which helped with my psychology, then I read some of the best books of my trading career. In total, it took about 3 years to start seeing profits. From there I continued for another year to lower my expenses, save up money, and worked on my skills until finally leaving my job forever. The rest is history.
