people are saying that those who can't go full time in the first place don't have the right risk appetite. well that's what i mean, if you can't hack the sick-to-the-stomach feeling of having a drawdown , why bother. if you are swingin' and you work around markets (as i want to , maybe as a broker/dealer) then it's not going to be hard to check your trades. it would then be a serious edge to for those with less risk appetite to get a job- they are less emotionally involved, now come on, isn't that an advantage somewhat, you can still trade unaggressively into fortunes..
i'm afraid there are too many views on either side of this "fence" here. I suggest you just try it, choose a less-stressful part-time method and see how it works out...
