Welcome Funds. I have personally found the best way to trade with a full time job or career is to trade higher time frames. I like to trade using the daily or weekly candles that way I am looking at signals that are forming much slower and means I will spend less time staring at the charts and my trades will likely last longer with larger price targets. Those are all positives for someone who doesn’t have a lot of time each day for trading and chart reading.
You can do your chart reading after work and then use entry orders that way you can get into trades at the price you want even if you are working. The same goes for exit orders and protecting your position with stop losses.
There are a number of veteran traders on this website that claim to be successful but still work full time. That is simply because it takes a large amount of capital to produce enough returns to live on, plus grow your account, without taking excessive risk. I am married with 4 kids, and while I have honed my skills to become successful I still have to work and have a career while I build my account. I personally won’t retire into full time trading until I reach at least 2 million USD account size. That number is going to be drastically different for each person. I would suggest you continue to strive for excellence to reach your trading goals but be realistic about your journey getting there.
I have no book suggestions but there is a good thread about trading related books that I would suggest you read Pipcrawler's Favorite Trading Books
