Have you ever questioned leaving your full-time career to pursue one of your passions or goals? Well, I did three times. However, I established a plan that would reduce the fear of leaving. Saving months of income was key throughout the process, requiring a tight budget. Quitting your job is nerve-wracking. Entering panic mode is normal. The aftermath is not always perfect, but in some cases it's worth it, let me walk you through my journey!

I must say this happened the same to me too . Last year, I quit my job to pursue trading which was a horrible idea to do it and I ended up losing all my money. And even worse part was that there was no job to be found due to pendamic but luckily last year before Christmas I found a job with the competitor organization giving me a better pay. But I will not give up because I knew then and I know now that I can do it. Just gotta be more disciplined. All the best to all the traders out there!

[@hagaras82030]

Yeah. You have to always stick to what works for you. For me. I follow the macd with a 10 time average and go from there. I made 14k out of the 25k I put into my account. But as soon as I increased the amount I trade with I'm currently down 4k because I got scared, didn't wake up almost every day ( I try to trade every day) and left a Position thinking it was gonna fail when in reality it moved in my favor. Lol

[@JohnWick-di4ow]

are you stil working or trading?

[@Aniexo_]

OMGEE I did the same thing!!! I quit 2 different jobs on my third soon. I just got funded but quitting those jobs helped a lot! I was able to dedicate time to learn. But this job is remote so I’ll be here for a little bit.

[@joemills3410]

Trading is mostly between your ears. It is a lot of reading, practicing, learning, adjustment, and managing your emotions. No wonder very few try this or give up in the early phase. Stay strong!

[@thomasrial4444]

And the fact that practice still doesn’t make perfect pushes people out as well

[@xtremetraders159]

The authenticity of sharing your journey and the comment section is all I needed. Didn't realize how similar my path was to many others. Thanks for sharing

[@christianarias4850]

Bro I'm doing the same this year in 2022, I'm changing careers from the Construction field to being a day trader!!! Wish me luck!

[@fracey__1511]

focus on price action and smart money concepts learn them thoroughly and understand them because strategies are temporary they are always changing and you will lose a tonne of money all the best

[@nina777_doit]

good luck 🍀

[@tomlee6263]

How has day trading been treating you? Update?

[@czeanesguerra6585]

Same I've made more money and more time with trading.... thats why i quit my job

[@cyeeda44]

Hope it worked

[@rynominnie83]

SO amazing to actually see an honest take on day-trading! Great job on pursuing your dream and finally making it work

[@davidnowak]

Thank you for sharing this story! While it's nice to hear about success stories for inspiration, when you're still at that 1-2 year mark ... content like THIS just resonates so much more! It gives me faith that there's still hope for me if I'm not profitable yet. Haha. Keep up the great work and content man!

[@Allah_alaziz]

You said almost everything that happening to me right now. I’m almost ready to quit my job to day trade . Yes it is very hard to make that decision. Happy for you . My plan to quite my job with in 4-6 months from now. I prepared my self almost like what you do . I will give update when I quit. Thanx for you inspiration video.

[@cornfedcountry7576]

Thank you so much for sharing this! This really helped me out with my mindset and beliefs about what I do. I have been swing/position trading for almost two years. It is the most challenging and rewarding career I have ever endeavored.

[@anthonyslcoelho]

Love that flashback video! Must be great to look back and reflect on your progress.

[@coletaylor9847]

Your energy is contagious, man. Thanks for sharing. I'm at the part where I know my edge, but I still struggle with the discipline required to execute it without all the noise. Taking trades that my own rules dictate I shouldn't, because I'm focused on getting that profit, instead of trusting it will come.. its easier said than done. Quit my job and after a year got a part time job on the weekends to help pay the bills. Here's to not blowing up my account. 🙏

[@glennredheadrainititanatgm161]

Hi Invest in a secure platform and broker where you will not lose your funds. I'm new to trading, but I met Mr. Raini Titan here on KZbin where he teaches people to trade forex and stocks. which he guides me with a super platform and amazing strategy. I thought it was a scam, but finally I cashed my first $ 57,000 profit last week, he is very reliable and honest, he always tells me the actual time of buying and selling with 100 profit from his one-on-one master training.....Stay bless..

[@dalenash4857]

Thanks Alex! Just a few days ago I was feeling like I finally dialed it in and everything “clicked”! Then the last two days I completely couldn’t make any trades work but came back today and broke even but felt like a degenerative gambler today without a solid process. Thanks for your encouraging video!

[@pmc5917]

Same situation. I've seen a number of comments to this effect here too. I was lucky enough to go through that first round (I got laid off), but then jump to the part where i found the easy gig to allow the side gig as well. Now focussing on the discipline part, which is truly the hard part. Nice to see you make it through to the other side B. Good luck all! Don't quit 💪

[@thegravelbro]

What easy gig did you find? I’ve been on the hunt as well trying to figure out something I can do and still trade.

[@pmc5917]

​@@thegravelbro It was a interesting the way it worked out I suppose. I was trying to climb the corporate ladder (=lots of hours) when i got laid off. I took a year off, realized I wanted to trade, but also realized I needed a job to pay bills. I purposely found a 'demotion' of a job that was more entry level with the ability to fully work from home (that was key). So, my position is just.. easier. I can accomplish what I need to quickly, allowing me time to multi-task and keep working on trading. I hope this helps and you find what you're looking for 🙂

[@doughewitt2285]

Going through the same journey. Thanks for sharing!

[@ryannoe86]

Great video. Thanks for being real - and optimistic simultaneously.

[@jtkerrigan3526]

Thanks for sharing, I'm sorta in the middle of a similar journey... While I currently live on the other side of the world, I work my day job, and learn to trade at night. After 4 months Im still keeping it small, but actual money... Basically breaking even at this point and I'm proud of that!

[@FastdounutTV]

when you come back from that depression phase, that is when you are your strongest. Most people can't get over it. Just keep showing up and getting that screen time. I went from I gotta get this down in a x amount of time to I'm sticking thru this because this is what I want to do. If your WHY is money, you will never make it. Find your why and fill in the gap to your why

[@BTheStory]

Your WHY def helps but main thing. Focus on process

[@hwnwhaler1]

Thanks. Agree on the why. Hope your right on coming back from depression.

[@SilversRalzy27]

Every "single" word make sense. And I assume that high percentage of traders that just watched this video felt, experienced the same way on part of their journey. Thank God I found your video I'm almost at my mental breakdown chasing what I loved and what I really want.

[@lilblingx0x]

I'm going through almost the exact situation. this is so helpful thank you for sharing! I've added this video to my list so I can go back and watch it whenever I need a reminder.

Wonderful video - I loved going back in time to see you interact with your friend the day you quit, that was wild! Amazing person and amazing story 💪✊🤜👍👍

[@erotomania91]

Great video and great introspection man. I just quit my corporate job to trade as well and you are hitting home with these points. Luckily I started off on a foot where I doubled my initial investment (I also saved about 1-2 years worth of expenses). I definitely got lucky.

[@crypttest]

This one hit home... I'm in the "work from home and trying to multitask with trading" phase. Thank you for making this video, this has given me more hope.

[@Nafesah13]

Omg what a life changing video! So glad I came across this. I am actually walking the same path you already walked. Literally Im talking to myself about quitting my corporate job because I work and trade and multitasking had me hit major losses. Also the last sentence, its all in your head and how you view yourself as a trader. I need to break that barrier.

[@asinsterstellar6792]

Oh man. You got me today. As I watching your video it was like as I’m telling my own story. I’m now on stage 2 of the journey und got back to work in Nov. again for the second time , lol. Luckily I’m living in Europe and should work from 12 pm to 8 pm EST. This is hard no doubt and isn’t for anybody seeking comfort in the process. Market got choppy for the last 3 month for me. But I’m doing it anyway, learning and adapting as mich as I could and I love it despite of all setbacks and emotional holes. I really really Thank you for sharing your journey and helping me and others. This really helps and glad being part of the trader community.

[@GarlandRentalsllc]

AWESOMMMMMEEEEE video. Your emotions and sentiment are vivid in this video!! Feels like trading. You're smiling, excited, then you have some not so happy topics, etc. Whewwwww!!

[@pmattic1759]

Wow inspirational story everything you described is what I’m feeling and going through and as 38 yr old with 3 kids and a wife it is not easy to quit your job and start over but for once in my life I truly feel I found my true passion your story just motivated me and I will take notes on everything you just explained hopefully I can become successful at trading one day and you can interview me lol great job keep up the good work true motivation.

[@jackchester8172]

Great video Alex, nice to hear the honesty especially given I left my job at the end of 2021 to pursue trading this year.

[@nina777_doit]

how is it going jack? the market in 2022 didn’t start out well, unfortunately.

[@OkDcGtAA12367]

I just love this channel you are really good motivated people like me. Thank you 🙏

[@donnettefletcher1356]

Very inspirational, thank you for sharing. I've been wanting to quit my job for many years now but haven't built up the courage and the funds to do so yet. The pandemic was a blessing in disguise for me because it gave me a chance to put more time into trading so it helped me to see what strategies that I was good at, and not so good at. I basically broke even, but what started to trip me up was the money I had saved up was getting lower and lower and no income coming in really messed with my psyche so I had to get a temporary job until my industry opened back up and I could go back out to work. Now that I'm back to work my goal right now is just to save as much as I can (more than a year) because the time off proved to me that I can do it but I just need to ensure that I have enough money put away to allow that to happen.

[@Rhy_]

Thanks for sharing, very good content and experience teachers wisdom.

Your last quote was so personal to me. Never knew i needed it. Thanks a lot🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Inspiring story!! Thank you for sharing

sub'd. bro you're the man. this is the real story i havent heard amongst traders on youtube yet.

[@JustinRHarris]

My pre trade video for this morning as I began my ritual before the market opens. Thanks dude, was a good video!

[@kundantripathi4343]

I can't even count how many things in your story match mine. Thanks for putting this video out.

[@dean7468]

Love your story! Love trading but still learning

[@petesnap1969]

A great honest video and a good lesson for any new trader. I've always thought if you can't consistently trade profitably in a paper account throwing real money at it won't suddenly make you successful.

[@1992Co]

Man I shed a tear, laughed and related so close to this story! Thank you!

[@CarlosRodriguez-mj8cz]

Thank you for this video, I'm in that time where I need to hear something like this.

there's no way to dislike you bro. Every content you put up is a topnotch!. Everything you say comes from the heart! Your amazing!

Wow Rommel, your too kind, thank you so much! Thx for the channel support too!!!!!!!!

I would love to see an updated video from your wife with all this volatility and market downturn. As well her insight on your current growth status.

[@jordonpumpin]

YOOOO Badass message. Love it. Goodluck brotha!

[@austintaylor7743]

Thank you! I am back at a job I quit to pursue trading and have been extremely hard on myself as I distanced myself from a passion I had which was trading. This gave me goosebumps and reminded me I’m not alone in this journey.

[@almakeit536]

Thanks man for sharing.

[@nicholascarrizales6974]

Great video man. One of the best episodes I’ve listened to.

[@Damngirl10]

Thank you. It start to makes more and more sense and i see how little i actually know, The finance world is so vast one can easily get lost. Just find one thing you are good at and stick to it.

I don’t usually leave a comment, but I wanna say thanks for sharing your experience B. What you had was GRIT my friend, and that’s why you are where you are today, to be quiet honest if I was advising the old you, I would’ve said don’t drop everything you worked hard for, for something you are unsure of.

[@mwcinci]

Is refreshing watching your vids. No magic turn a hundred dollars into a million in a year, and actually honesty.

[@motorxplorer]

Love hearing your adventure, great energy, and channel you’ve built. Wonder do you still trade yourself - is there an interview of you and your own current style and preferences?

[@OkImJustCommenting]

Great video my guy!!! You have no idea how many people this video will help!

This was excellent! And right on time

[@uvdagreathiphoprecordingar2449]

Wow, This hit Home! This was what I needed to hear, and I can relate..I'm literally at the breakeven Point in my life! Looking for part time work!

[@webentrepreneurdiaries]

Great video as usual. It's very nice to see everyone's journey and being able to identify where in the "classic" traders' journey one is at.

[@acbenitez3614]

Your vids are so encouraging Alex. You v. you, so true.

[@BTheStory]

💯 always you vs you. Thx AC

[@intellectualdegen]

Super tough career. I’m glad I’ve been able to stay working and pursue trading simultaneously

[@alecmiller6262]

Awesome! What platform do you use in trading

[@UnbiasedTradingGoshawk]

This made me feel so much better about my growth and takes a lot fro you to be so open about it. Thanks so much, really appreciate it as a young person trying to pursue trading.

[@BTheStory]

Good luck! This is a journey not a sprint ya dig!

[@healthyblend2048]

Sounds just like me man. I’ve quit my job twice and now I’m in my current job thinking about quitting again to trade. Just have this strong urge to keep at it

[@johnreiley4754]

Everyday you seem more and more natural ... Keep up the good work

[@wmstaceybutts4953]

Excellent work

[@nickthomas2530]

Awesome video dude. Funny enough am at the same spot right now. Been scared of leaving my job for the past 3 years but I feel am at my point. Where I rather take a stab at it than to never do it. At the end of the day side gigs are all over.

[@ItsAGoodDay4You]

This video helped me a lot. I just quit my job to pursue full time trading. The second I quit I had the same feeling you did.

[@candacelashae4236]

How's it going now? I'm really want to quit m you job

[@Commander_Chief]

well done, great journey

[@bearish_bull]

Much love brother

[@BTheStory]

Same to you brotha!

[@StrongestBGBoy]

Thanks for sharing this video brother, I'm in that boat where I really want to quit my job and pursue trading. It not that I hate my job but it's been very hard on my body and also I am growing to be miserable while working there cause I'm not growing and rather be trading. It's always uplifting to hear stories like this.

[@kirill8383]

Thank you for your video

[@jessechandler2522]

I am changing my job so I can focus more on trading. I have been break even for a year and feel confident I will be able to break through. I found this video randomly, but I’m excited that you have found success! I am hoping I can find success as well!

[@fredbruno833]

were you finally able to break through the break even phase?

[@mooch3332]

This is exactly where I am personally. Great video!

[@Gringo-w]

Great advice mate! There is no option to quit iff you love trading

[@ThetaBadger]

Love your genuinity in your content. I think anyone who wants to get into trading full time needs to understand the importance of having multiple other sources of income not only for the inconstancy of the markets but to reduce the desperateness of "needing" to take a trade. I dont really know of any pro/successful traders who do not have other sources of income as well.

[@The_Situation]

you havent looked very far then. There's 1000s of traders that have trading as an only source of income (outside of passive income with funds earnt from trading)

[@jaydutt9361]

Wow... that ending there was so profound!!! You hit a nerve buddy!!!

[@twan4788]

Thank you bro

No prob Karen thank you for watching todays

[@iliasskb7120]

Thanks for the value.. it's great to see how you did manage the emotions.. responsibility and challenges you faced. I am in the same boat as well currently.. after blowing my first 3k account i felt so demotivated.. it learned a lot to be honest..came back and worked hard to save up again. Thanks man

This is awesome man

Thank you! I feel better...

[@jorgeluisenriquez7340]

Thanks brother!!☝️👊

[@CassandraArtrice]

I have been working from home since the pandemic, but we are going back to the office in September. My job is easy enough for me to practice and trade. I went ahead and invested in a mentor, so I can finally trade the right way and Im glad I did. Instead of quitting I plan to retire. I don’t quite have the age for the full benefits but that’s how I plan to exit. My job is good about rehiring retirees. So that’s my plan by the end of the year.

[@SolidTrades]

Resonate with you completely! Great story !

[@user-gm8ig6qu2y]

This one hit home! That last part is so true. I have my strategy that got me to the point to be a full time trader but I started to feel like I needed other ways to make money trading and that’s when I started having bigger losses. They say don't change horses in midstream.

[@ONSETONE]

That was awesome man

[@EllenTrades]

Ah I love this. Your Transparency, the real deal that people don’t often hear about. It’s hard starting out. You crack me up tho with the voice overs. Awesome lol
