I think the transition is very difficult because you're going from full steady income to possibly no or little income with high unpredictability. This will play a huge role on your trading because of the stress to produce the goods. If you can do half and half or if you already have a system you can pull a minimum of what you;re already making on your regular job for a good 6 months, then you might be ready. But remember gotta have the savings to survive those 6 months (or more), that way the pressure from the bills won't pile up and affect your trading. Good luck.
