How I Quit My Job to Become a Full-Time Trader: My Story

What Drives Success in Any Field?

Have you ever wondered what truly drives success, no matter the field? What makes you start earning seriously in business? And, most importantly, what allows you to consistently profit from trading?

The answer is simple: knowledge. Knowledge that lets you know exactly what works. But how do you gain that knowledge? 💡

My Journey: From Confusion to Clarity

For a year, I wandered through platforms, books, and social media, searching for the „golden method” of trading. I remember the chaos in my mind, caused by conflicting indicators, strategies, and capital management advice. Influencers gave contradictory tips, and their advice rarely yielded results.

Trading gave me erratic results – one day I’d profit, the next I’d lose. My emotions were as volatile as my outcomes. I knew I had to change something, or I’d lose my sanity.

Then I found a tweet from a trader who wrote, „No matter what you want to achieve, nothing speeds up your growth like guidance from someone who’s already succeeded.”

Finding a Mentor: The Turning Point

I started looking for a mentor, ideally on a budget, as I couldn’t afford expensive courses. I found a trader offering free mentoring and signed up immediately. I had doubts, but after a conversation and reviewing his results, everything clicked. Mentoring wasn’t about revealing secrets but structuring my learning. Finally, I knew what to study and in what order. The chaos vanished, and I saw purpose in my actions.

Scaling Up: From Part-Time to Full-Time

After four months of diligent learning under a mentor who reviewed and corrected my mistakes in real-time, I decided to accelerate and start earning immediately.

I asked if there was a strategy he could teach me for immediate profits. He replied there was – a simple strategy for beginners, generating 5% monthly, taking 1-2 hours daily, costing $4,000.

I didn’t have the funds, so I took a $20,000 loan: $4,000 for the course, $16,000 for trading. With a $400 monthly loan payment, the math was straightforward – a 5% monthly return on $16,000 meant $800 profit, doubling my loan repayment speed.

After two years, I paid off the loan, working 1-2 hours daily before or after my regular job. I had not only cleared the debt but also trading profits. However, $800 monthly wasn’t enough to quit my job, so I calculated: I needed $3,000 monthly, requiring $60,000 in trading capital.

Without savings, I spent another year growing my capital by 5% monthly. After a year, I had $30,000. I took another $40,000 loan, totaling $70,000 capital. At 5% monthly, I earned $3,500, covering loan payments and securing income.

In some months, I exceeded targets, saving extras for lean periods. After three years, I quit my job, working from home 1-2 hours daily, spending more time with family. 🚀
