Millionaire TradersQ: Speaking of that, does your wife work? Does she have a
source of income?
A: No, she is a stay-at-home mom. She used to be a teacher
before our sons were born.Q : So the period when it was kind of hard—the first six
months—was your wife supportive? Was it difficult for you guys?
How did you handle that?A: We had some savings, I didn’t have any bills, and she was very
supportive.Q: That must have been important.
A: Yes, definitely.
Q: Some operational details. Do you trade one account or do
you trade multiple accounts?A: I trade one account.
Q: You run a self-proprietorship. You pay all your expenses,
medical bills. It’s as though you are running a hardware store. You
had the same set of possibilities and problems.A: Exactly.
Q: Do you target income for yourself? Do you say I want to make
$1,000 per day or$20K a month? Or do you not believe in targets?A: Yes, I do have targets for myself. But if I don’t get them, I don’t
get them. It not like I say to myself, oh, I madexamount today. I
am going to stop trading. I never stop trading until the close.
