Most people don’t fail at “going full-time” because they can’t trade — they fail because they don’t build the runway. This episode lays out the Binary Path: either you operate with discipline, stats, and logistics… or you stay chained to a paycheck.
We’re talking real requirements:
A 2-year financial runway (because drawdowns aren’t “bad luck,” they’re guaranteed)
A proven edge backed by data, not hope
The psychological toughness to execute when it’s boring and painful
A checklist for making the jump the right way: risk limits, process, taxes, and readiness
If you’re thinking about quitting your job to trade, this is the episode that will either sharpen your plan — or save you from a stupid decision.
