Yuki (and other guru's),
I'm sure some of you folks initially had a different primary career
and then transformed yourselves into successful pro traders. It'd be
very interesting to hear from you about the experiences. For example -
what were the hurdles? How long were you trading on the side before
going fulltime? What was it that finally convinced you to go
fulltime? etc. etc...
If you guys find it interesting and willing to comment, I think many
would be interested to hear about it.
