This was me 3 years ago. The day I moved out from my parents after quitting my job and deciding to pursue full-time trading. I had $10,000 in the bank and my rent was $1250. So I had 6 months to make trading work, or else I was going back to working minimum wage. You can see…

I didn't make a single dollar from trading for 5 years. I actually lost over $15,000. And let me tell you, $15,000 while working minimum wage was VERY painful. But eventually, it clicked. I got funded. Quit my job. And didn't look back. You just need to keep going.

Is it possible to make $1 million from trading? Let's say you get funded with $200,000. You make 1% every week. It'll take 162 weeks or 3.11 years to turn it into $1 million. That's $800k in profit. $640k in your pocket with an 80/20 split. Not $1 million. But damn good.
