Finally made it as a professional 'full-time' trader

Thats a great strike rate on the horse, only 1 loss in 20 and all very consistant VWD keep it going.

I scalp for safety, I'm not confident letting things run or go in play, don't use automation yet but will have a play one day soon

Hi there fellow traders and bettors, I am new to the forums but wanted to make a quick first post about how much I've come to understand and appreciate the high's and low's which comes with a trading lifestyle. My story, just as many of the people on this forum, involved a lot of blood, sweat, and I'm not ashamed to say quite a few tears, but I am extremely grateful and humble to say I'm now in a position where all those lost banks and hours of studying the markets have finally come into fruition. After a year and a half of pretty much paper trading, I am now in a position to quit my £<30k job and trade horse-racing for 3 hours per day. My message to up and coming traders is to be persistent with it and more importantly, focus on finding and STICKING with a trading method that has an edge (too often do I see people jumping from one method to the next), and then getting into a trading mindset of eliminating losses and other silly habits such as letting those losses run.

Thank you for taking the time to read my first (of hopefully many) posts, please find below my P&L between 1-4pm from yesterday

You didn't need to read the rest of the comments, just the previous one. They were either so successful they retired in a few months or their claims of being successful were premature.

I've just read the OP again. He/she said " I am now in a position to quit my £<30k job". Let's hope they gave it more time before making a decision.
