So I have a big decision to make, was looking for some FF input.
I work for a very large international software company, because we are so big I can get away with trading during the day. I make a good living but I'm really not crazy about software develpment anymore.
I'll got a job offer from another company thats significantly more than I am making now - however I wont be able to trade during work as its a much smaller organization. In fact the demands on my time will probably be such that forex trading/learning to trade will be a much smaller part of my life.
My connundrum is do I take the job for more money and shelf trading? Or do I keep up what I'm doing and try to build my mini into a real account (hopefully by winning trades!!! but I also try to add a little capital each month) and try to supplement my income in hopes of someday trading full time for a living?
The conservative side of me tells me to go with the sure thing, but I dont really like the software industry anymore, and I really find trading (forex, stocks, options) much more intersting. Although I am not getting 100% return monthly and blowing doors down with winning trades I am getting better and better at it and my confidence is building - just not quite to the point where its yielding any real returns just yet.
Anyone out there have any pearls of wisdom or similar experiences?
Thanks again,
Ah.
