Helloooo. :blush: I guess I just got curious. :thinking: A lot of people here have been trading for so many years already, and I was just wondering. Do you ever see yourself taking on a different job or do you see forex trading as your final profession/ something you wanna do until your last few months? :thinking: Thank youuuuu! :smiley:

Personally I would look to accrue investments and other passive income streams so that if I get to a point where I just can’t be bothered getting out of bed for London session to start then I won’t stress about it.

I don’t know that I’d say “oh yes I’d love to be trading right before I die!” lmao. I mean I’d like to be trading stress-free though and trading being just a way to accumulate more $$ but not really as a source of income.

Although it is good to work as full time forex trader, but for me working as full time trader is near to impossible as I have pretty goof 9-5 job.

I guess the stability of a 9-5 job really hits different. :open_mouth: But of course, eventually, I hope to also be my own boss and really spend my time on my family. :blush:

I do not know whether to see forex trading as a final profession or not, whenever I think that I have been consistent in making profit and I will start full time trading soon at that moment only I end up in losses. What should I do now??

For me that underpins the importance of building those multiple streams of income though. Trading doesn’t need to take all day either so don’t evne just have to be passive.

If you’re swimming in money I’m thinking it’ll be stress-free then lol

No, I'm not looking at forex trading as a final profession. I'm doing along with the marketing part with my friend as well.
