Re: Ready to take this on full time?

I say you have to find out how consistent you and your system are before taking the plunge. I paper traded for 1 full year before taking real trades then I went semi-fulltime. But consistency is a very tricky state, because you really don´t know how consistent you are until you feel it´s not about the money you´re raking in but it's the fact you know you can come back, you know your system so well when and where its success and failure lies and how confident you are in exploiting it to the limit when necessary. When it's not about the money is when you might be ready.

I say give it more time just to make sure the system you have is one that can deal with different conditions and still stay ahead.

Good luck, Jay.
