Getting disappointed in general with the status
Focused on learning more on stock trading
Spent a lot of time learning Tradingview
Tried my hand at Pinescript for trading automations
Both turned bust after nearly 3 months of work
Switched to trading options

Nearly 1 year in, not really sure if i want to do a 9 to 5 job anymore but not sure if I am ready to invest capital to make trading my full time job.
Wish me luck, next update should have some more clarity on how life progresses.
