To all the full-time traders out there, please share with me your experience in your profession.
Some sample questions are as below, feel free to answer any of them. You may choose not to answer if you feel the question is sensitive. You may also share any other experiences which you feel is relevant. Thank you very much!
-
Do you still enjoy your profession? Or do you eventually tire out from facing your computer everyday?
-
Is it a stressful profession?
-
I think that most full-time traders are risk-takers. But, is there any who are risk-averse? (Note: This question would determine if a person fits to be in this profession)
-
From question 3, from the risks you take daily, have you ever experience financial difficulties at some point in time? If so, how did you overcome them?
-
Is it possible to live comfortably (abit luxurious) from your income?
-
Other than financial questions, how is your social life? Do you spend time with friends more with the time you have or is time mostly spent analysing companies for new trades?
Overall, would you recommend others to take this profession?
