Description

Day trading while holding a full-time job: a challenging balancing act. A survey shows only 40% of traders achieve full-time trading success. Traders share extreme measures, like checking markets at 1 AM and trading from bathroom stalls. Melissa Avutan suggests a set-it-and-forget-it approach, while Kevin Law aims for small, consistent gains. However, this hands-off approach isnt always easy, as one trader lost $1800 due to a work meeting. Ricardo Saldana, a home health aide, trades from 3 AM to 8 AM, aiming for financial freedom despite family and friends concerns.
