šÆ 5 Things You Actually Need to Trade Full Time
Everyone wants the freedomābut few talk about the foundation.
Hereās what it really takes to make trading your career (and not just an expensive hobby): https://proptraderedge.beehiiv.com/p/5-things-you-need-to-trade-full-time-02d4
š
1. A Strategy That Works in Any Market
Not just during bull runs. You need rules, risk parameters, and proof your edge holds upāchop, panic, or trend.
2. Two Streams of Income
ā
Day trades for cash flow
ā
Swing/position trades for long-term growth
One pays the bills. The other builds wealth.
3. Real Capital (Yours, Theirs, or Both)
Prop firms like Axi Select can multiply your edgeāwithout tying your hands. Grow faster and keep control.
4. A Cash Buffer
Your safety net for the red months. No cushion = emotional trades. Give yourself breathing room to trade clear.
5. A Trading Community
Donāt go solo. A strong group = support, feedback, sanity checks, and accountability. The mental game matters more than you think.

š” Full-time trading is possible. But itās not about chasing freedomāitās about building the structure that gives you freedom.
Which of these are you missing right now?š
