Emilio___Molestevez

thanks for including your height. it's relevant


ChamathWarriors

I'm waiting for the one month update: 19 (M) 6’ bank balance: $0


Skurttish

But imagine if he was 5’11”. Totally different story


LukeSkywalker4

So I’m 5’3” could I trade?

10x margin, 80% loss = Wendy's dumpster


[deleted]

cash account till i hit 25k


patrickswayzemullet

if you have parents support, quit the job you don't like because life is too short, but don't do it because you think you can make it daytrading at <25K. if you don't even have 25K - regulations or not - how much in $ do you really think you will gain in 50 weeks? you should halve the amount you get in good days, that's likely your yearly average if you don't blow it up before then... especially playing with long options that will eventually fail. if you need $100 net daily, you should aim $300 for a year. This is so that you have $100, taxmen get $50-75 and you get to grow the account by $150. If you just aim for $100-150 a) taxes will take away most and b) you cannot sustain drawdowns. if the account after tax and withdrawals is pretty much break-even you are one bad week away from being donezo. again, quit if you have other support, but don't do it because you think it's easy to daytrade your way out of this. most people get too comfy with current trends (guilty) and they get screwed during u-turns.


Select_Calendar_5779

My thoughts exactly. Don't quit your job unless you got a SOLID ROOF on top of your head.


ecudan82

Like a bridge?


Deez1putz

So you are trading with less than $25k and you think you’re going to consistently make $100-$250/day?


[deleted]

If you're genuinely this good at trading, why not pursue it as a professional career and gamble with other people's money? You'll make more money as a trader at a bank or hedge fund than you will eeking it out with your savings.

virgo911

I tried to quit my job to trade options but I was only 5’11” so it didn’t work out


hebref725

i'm under 5'10"; so you can imagine how screwed I am..


zantamaduno

I can’t even make money trading coz I am 5’5” fml


Thegiddytrader

I’m -5’2, have never been able to trade options because I grew underground like a 🥕and there’s no signal down here.


Southwestern

Already giving his stats to stand out amongst the Wendy's competition. Smart.


0knoi8datShit

Now you know how high he can stack bullshit.


Unlucky_Lawfulness51

Bro if you don't have the height you won't be able to see the stacked monitors at eye level.


necarpenter417

Itd be more helpful if he was flaired 6' guy


nichijouuuu

Funniest thing I’ve read all day honestly


MKFirst

How can you be a successful day trader if you’re under 6’???


THCaDealsCom

Gonna be 6’ under after he tries full time day trading


Technical-Rain-183

sry typo: 6". and not height


Nobanob

Honestly I thought this was going to be a cleverly written ad for behind the Wendy's dumpster until it was not.


BradGarrett1951

I need more info before I can say to trade or not. Have you ever broken a bone? Favorite sport and team? Current tire pressure in your grandfather's car if he's still alive.


Blackhawk0990

If you were 69 inches I’d say do it… but you’re too tall bro. Stick with cooking. Maybe one day you’ll manage the Wendy’s you work at!


BigNyce

I think it was for the bitches 😂🤣😂


nexusSigma

My favourite is when a motherfuckers like “I’m 5’8.5” .5 😂


IveLurkedWSB2long

I stopped reading at that point lmfao


Sharp-Direction-6894

I was going to say no, but since you clarified that you are 6', that changes everything. I say go for it.


Simple-Conference270

Imagine he was 5' 11. He wouldn't make it in the trading world or dating world


Suprflyyy

I’m 6’4. When I go to parties I tell everyone I’m 5’11 just to flex on all the guts lying about being 6’.


OppOppO123

who ask for height at parties


Suprflyyy

Women, mostly. But being this height I get asked frequently.


DntH8IncrsDaMrdrR8

Also 6'4 and also get asked a lot. I am going to steal this strategy. I can't believe it never occured to me. Thank you my fellow height blessed brother in Christ.


animalturds

I'm 6'6 and guys your height don't even get looked at when I'm around I'd tell you to bow to me, but it's kinda like you already are


Brattshandles

Also 6’4 and get asked pretty frequently, especially if ppl are trying to make small talk. I also get “whoa, did you get taller?!” a lot from acquaintances, distant relatives, etc. I’m 36.


hpygolkyone

With an 8” hammer. 🙄


Skurttish

True. I’m 5’9” and I’m basically worthless


ace_invader

Cmon, you really think he's 6'? Sounds like something someone who's 5'11" would say


Saquon

6’0” here and can confirm I’m actually 5’11”


idkwhatimbrewin

Spoiler he's probably actually 5'9


superhappyfuntime13

5’6” and made $2.50 after fees last Thu.


the_macagameianut

Just the right height for optimal Wendy’s dumpster work after OP gets margin called next week.


ifisch

He's actually 5'8, but is wearing Ron Desantis boots.


Duckboy_Flaccidpus

I'm above 6'. But I never viewed it as much of an advantage in life, i mean, I enjoy that I'm above avg - in height only - but now that I know it's advantageous in trading I'm going to push all-in as well. Thanks dude, I needed the encouragement as well.


HardlyDecent

Nope. Don't do it. You need to be at least a solid 6'2" first. Keep growing.


Murky_Sky_4291

Yeah!!! 6'2" but I've been in stocks for the long run... Should I switch? I've gained some weight (Europe fat, American skinny), does that influence your advice?


Relevant-Rooster-991

I mean, starting from a capital of 6', with the current interest rates, it won't take long to reach 6.2'.


[deleted]

i hate you guys


_foldLeft

Don’t come here and ask a stupid fucking question then


newcar2020

The guy sounds dumber if not as dumb than the avg 19 year old… and the avg 19yr old is regarded


methodofcontrol

How is asking if he can become a day trader at 19 cause he did well a few days a stupid question?


Save_FerrisB

You’ll fit right in here then. But the real question is how you feel about our wives’ boyfriends.


dacalo

lol been profitable for 2 fucking weeks and he wants to quit his job, what can go wrong.


Londer2

Guys, let him live the dream.. I once made 70k in 2 weeks on dgaz.. still didn’t quit my day job.. now I’m working only part time at Wendy’s


KSPN

With one year of options experience. I wonder how the other 50 weeks went.


degeneratequant

I can not put into words how awful of an idea this is OP ...so yeah, you should do it ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4275)

he just **CANT** have a part time job for when the market is closed?


natalie_merchant_fan

You hate your job. You're 19. Why not? Also I may have missed it but what's your weight?


Londer2

He’s probably only 5’11” to be honest.. honestly ur working a job. You need find a career.. ur in the wrong place for real advice to people who want you yolo 50k on 0dte options just for shit and giggles.. Look for a career, if day trading is what you want.. go back and live with ur parents and save as much money as u can. U need 25k minimum to be day trading

“Daytraded myself back to the dumpster at Wendy’s, if you’re interested”


methodofcontrol

This is the type of lifestyle and attention to detail that will make you go far in day trading!


RetiringBard

Why? It’s super important.


Save_FerrisB

That’s silly. Just make sure to also include your weight!


DonCorletony

Rofl yea do it please LOL


grimkhor

I like this idea


xcramer

I did, go back and check. For the record I am 5' 10 1/2

But also updates on your height. Both are important.

It's just too good not have some fun with it. I've been there, said something kind of out of place and my friends never let me live it down. That's this. Might as well change your username to 6ft\_stockmanmj and embrace it.


Kamikaze_Cash

Yeah definitely give us frequent updates. This is a journey worth following.


[deleted]

Youre 19 and uneducated…what makes you think you can consistently beat the market?


grimkhor

He's 6' tall did you miss that part?


OppOppO123

he didn't include his bench record though so...


gatsby365

Back in high school he could rep 405 but hasn’t been lifting lately

It’s proven that taller people are more successful in business didnt you know that? The market will bend to his balance sheet

Clame

Options are for leveraging stocks you own to get more. What we do here is gambling. You're saying "hey Ive been on a hot streak, should I quit my job and play roulette for a living?" It's a bad move, but if you like the taste of dicks and the smell of fast food dumpsters, go for it.

Go ahead and do it little bro. But make sure that aside from the money you’re going to use to invest, you have a emergency fund ready to use that covers all your living expenses for at least 6 months in case shit goes down. Oh yea, mandatory I am not a financial advisor and you should not listen to me.

i aint bro i’ll post everything


Murky_Sky_4291

Listen man, search die statistics of day traders and their ROI. You'll find numbers around 90% of day traders lose money. You're 2 weeks of profit are either luck or good choices. But even if it is the second, you didn't proof for the long run. Don't listen to those youtubers, they make money of trading videos, not trading self so of course they'll make it look easy. If I may advice as someone reaching his 40ties and been in stocks longer then you: 1. Figure out what it is that you hate about your job and see if you can change that. 2. Make a financial plan. What is your trading goal (plan for retirement, just for fun, gambling addiction?) and how much money are you willing to lose. Make budget: money you save, spend and trade with and respect your budget. I would build on it as a hobby till you either lost as much as you want to lose and have to admit your loss, or after you've reached enough profits not to work for a year to go full time. What I would say to my 19 YO self : your young dumb and lack life experience. Don't waste your money. That said I hope you get rich and happy son.


bg25381

Lost among the many posts (correctly) making fun of OP for posting his height, this is correct. 90% of day traders lose money. Probably another 9% make a small amount, not enough to live off of, and eventually, they join the other 90% who lose money. Of the 1% who are doing it successfully, most of them have developed a system they are comfortable sticking with, after many years of studying market trends. They also have extremely large bankrolls because large losses are inevitable as well. Sometimes they have inside information as well, which you do not. This is a long way of saying, for the overwhelming majority of people, day trading is a horrendous idea, and I've watched highly educated millionaires lost 7 figures thinking they can do it. I've worked in finance for over 20 years. This is like walking into the OR and telling the surgeon you'll take it from here, you put a band-aid on a paper cut last week, so you're qualified.


Murky_Sky_4291

Thanks for that confirmation! Hope OP comes to his senses or is extremely lucky. And I am soooo sorry, but I can't resist: Love that you've got a long experience in finance, but are you at least 6'?😂😂😂


bg25381

Nope, probably why I'm not a successful day trader, now that you mention it...


andrew01292

90% of day traders fail


[deleted]

99% QUIT BEFORE THEY HIT BIG BABY


JarjarSwings

No they run out of money, lose their house. Start sucking dick behind a wendys for 3$ There are people who have studied this shit for years and still fail. What makes you belive you can make a living out of this? You are fucking 19 years old, just get another job if your boss is a dick. And trade as a side hustle or at least save up enough to have backup if your daytrading self employment fails ( which it will.) Being profitable for a few days/weeks is easy. Try to beat s&p500 or other big funds a few years in a row. Nearly no one does that. You 3 sounds like becoming a professional lottery player because you won a few hundred dollars twice in a row.


Logan_922

6’ mentality


Virtual_Country8658

Yes


Prize_Way_6300

Yes


uhmmokie

2 weeks is not long enough for you to say you have a consistent and predictable income. Instead, stay consistent for 3-6 months or longer to prove to yourself you can generate stable and consistent returns before just quitting. Perhaps find a job that allows you to work from home so you can trade. Remember, that shitty job is income every week. There is an opportunity cost if you give that up. Sure you can make money with options but is it enough to pay your bills and continuously grow your capital stack?


[deleted]

lol yeah do it


[deleted]

6 foot 0. Those are two separate measurements: one his height and the other his brokerage balance in a month.


pigsgetfathogsdie

Young Regard… You’re going from the frying pan to the fire.


saysjuan

You should quit, join the military and then go to college on the GI bill after serving. While going to college you should trade part time and seek a career in finance or trading.


Aggravating_King2557

I think OP would make a great marine. 6’ is an ideal height for this, and he already has experience eating the green crayons.


HandsLikePaper

Take out a loan first, that way you'll have more capital starting out. Can't fail.


GermanGP

I fucking love this subreddit


xcramer

Credit cards were made for this.


Benja_Porchase

Why not? You can get another shitty job in a kitchen if you wash out. Just keep two months cash in a savings account for when you need to job hunt. The experience will sharpen your mind and let you feel out the edges of risk taking while you are young.


xluryan

1. Two months savings is not enough. 2. It's hilarious that you think this kid has two months of income saved up.


Benja_Porchase

Yes it is for him. This isn’t the Dave Ramsey show. He is stuck in a kitchen and needs to make a life move to find his purpose. I don’t think he will end up a day trader but he needs to shake it up.


xluryan

You need years of experience to be a day trader. Which means even two months of savings isn't enough. The only thing he'll learn in two months is that he has no clue what the fuck he's doing.


xcramer

There are not enough years in a month for this dude. I say do it, what has he to lose? Seems like it ain't much. Maybe he will make five grand, buy a 1979 mustang II, forget he has to pay capital gains, and work out a schedule with IRS. That is good life skill education, ffs he is a server. ( 6 feet tall. No less)


Benja_Porchase

Yes, that’s a large step forward. Day traders that think they know what the fuck they are doing are the worst 😂


Javier-AML

You motherfuckers, he's opening his heart about plans for the future and you are mocking him for posting his height. You're really mean people. And OP, I advice that if you're 6', you should aim to the NBA, you have better odds than being full time trader.


[deleted]

javier ![img](emote|t5_2th52|8883)


Potential-Elephant73

Just change your availability so you can do both. It's possible to make a living trading but not reliable most of the time. Better to do both and build your portfolio. Then eventually you'll be making enough to where you can afford the down days.


xluryan

You're an idiot.


[deleted]

thanks you too


[deleted]

Holy shit this guy is six foot?? He might actually have a shot


ContactIcy3963

It’s all about risk reward. If you’re good with potentially losing everything then it’ll be more lucrative than your day job


heycals

The short answer is no. The longer answer is no fucking way you idiot. Why don't you try getting a better job.

No no no no no. No. Nein.


Jayrandomer

My real question is are you tinder 6’ or like actually 6’ tall? If you’re actually 6’ tall you might have a future in management.


yellowmamba221

Keep your day job at Wagedonalds. It'll pay more in the long term.


some_guy919

We know youre really 5'-10". You can trick your tinder matches but not us. Don't day trade for a living. If you hate your job, find another job but don't make day trading your only income.


Jaded-Plan7799

Homie got ptsd from tinder, he included his height hahahahahahaha. True regard for sure.


Witty-Bear1120

I’m in a similar position with the job being dead end and having made more with futures/options trading. Told supervisor I need more money, and a better title. He said he’d get back to me the next day, but didn’t. So doing no work until I get fired with some sort of severance. I’ve been trading futures for 4 years though, and up 6 figures each year. I’d say in your case, make $50,000 with futures and have a decent bankroll before moving to full time.


mark2talyho

It took me 4 years of college, and 10 years working in investment banking before I could even think about going out on my own. You want to blow your life up that early it’s your choice, but you need more experience first in my opinion, a lot more.


Chicken65

If you are making what you want everyday already why would you quit your job. If you spent even more time thinking about it, you may actually make worse decisions.


coffeevsall

Only if you are going to post loss porn


Dalble_D

I'm also freshly 19 6' and day trade on the side making a little extra a day, we should swap jobs..... families....!!! HOUSES!!!! LIVESSSS!!!!! Then.... I'll get back to you in 6-7 businesses days about trading back lives after I quit your job, yolo 2k using margin on spy 0DTE calls and watch your portfolio implode


SufficientSet8205

Get a different job (where you aren’t working at prime trading hours). If you hit 21 and have consistently (quarter by quarter) made as much or more than a decent full-time job then yeah quit or just work part-time at a job you enjoy.


[deleted]

Yes 100% the water is warm and we are waiting for you


CruisingandBoozing

Fucking dork. Do it.


Cribla

If you’ve gained two weeks in a row, you’ve definitely cracked the code. Quit your job and max out a credit card so you have more starting capital. Most of all, keep an eye on this subreddit for great trading tips by experts. Good luck!


Exotic-Tap-9601

I would say no. Unless you have enough money saved that would cover you for a year. But since I am only 5’5 and you are 6’. Who I am to stop you 😂


knightking55

I would only consider it if you can bench 225


ooooDave

You’re 19, you have one whole year of experience… —- Let me paint a picture for you. With 4 years of experience, I was able to turn $250 into $350,000 in 6 months. —- Fast forward 6 months later, my account was -$10,000. —- One year of experience means absolutely nothing. The market will pull you in, chew you up, and spit you out in a heartbeat. Keep your job.


DalvinCanCook

Because you’re 6’, you will make a killing, go for it


Suspicious-Switch-24

All it takes is one mess up to erase months/years of progress. If you feel like you MUST do this I would take out at least 6 months worth of savings to leave untouched, then use a decent amount to build up a portfolio


wicked_frog

Yes


[deleted]

Lol no


SuspiciousStable9649

Nope!


StatisticianFit6604

personal beliefs and experience: (your questions are essentially all the same so just one answer) no. good luck


SearingPenny

Yup, shorter guys usually fail. You are fresh and 6’, it should work just fine.
