Seeing many people ask this question, I think I should be honest.

One hundred thousand yuan sounds like a lot, but using it for full-time trading, honestly, the pressure isn't small. Let's do some quick calculations: assuming monthly living expenses are 5,000 yuan, that adds up to 60,000 yuan a year. This means your capital needs to not only break even within a year but also cover your living costs on top of that. It sounds simple, but in practice, it's quite challenging.

Market fluctuations are normal. With a principal of 100,000 yuan, a 10% correction would directly reduce your capital by 10,000 yuan. Beginners are prone to panic at this point, and when their mindset is disturbed, they often start chasing gains and selling losses, as you know the outcome. Plus, transaction fees, slippage, and other hidden costs significantly compress the actual profit space.

Another reality is the cycle of making money. It's not that if you enter today, you'll see profits tomorrow. Sometimes, you have to wait a month or two to see an opportunity, and during this period, your living expenses continue, naturally increasing psychological pressure. When pressure mounts, decision quality drops, and it can easily lead to a vicious cycle.

My advice is: if you really have this idea, don't quit your job immediately. Maintain a stable income while using this 100,000 yuan for real trading practice, to understand your trading style and risk tolerance. Once you can achieve consistent profits, then consider going full-time. This way, you won't be forced to admit losses due to financial pressure.
