It's gonna be a lot at least $1m. I'm not good at day trading.

If it was swing trading then $400k. I'm better at that as long as I stick to the plan. With my returns I could probably get $100k a year, at least, pre taxes with that.

If my networth hit $200k I'd be highly tempted to not bother looking for a job. Though if my networth hit $400k I'd use many paid sick days before quitting.

REALITY CHECK
1. Your income has to be removed from what you can deploy in your positions
2. You are 100% GUARANTEED to have entire years down if you are trading risky enough to live off a smallish bankroll
3. An insane return YOY average would be something like 15%
4. 95% of retail day traders LOSE money

Given all this, even if you think you are in the top 5 percentile (you aren't), to earn $50k a year, you would need to start with $350k funds that you can actually deploy 100% of, plus some buffer for down years, so let's say $500k. If you are spending the $50k profit to live, you will never grow your funds you can deploy, so you are losing to inflation, so realistically if you have some dream of actually being successful, you need more like $1.5-2 million to start. This is assuming you will START as a 95th percentile trader (you won't).

Its a shame too because most people think options are highly risky and its the complete opposite they were designed to mitigate risk. The only way they are risky is if you do naked selling without the funds to back it up. Sure what I suggested is picking up pennies in front of a potential steam roller but it usually works long enough to recoup more than the initial balance you were using to cover.

They are trading educators whose income comes from introducing broker contracts with retail brokers. Their job is make you think you can day trade for a living so you lose money and your broker profits.
What you need to live off your investments is =(x/0.04) for x= future value desired annual income (PV = what you want to start, I/Y = 2, N = years until you die PMT = 0).
So if you wanted to have $30,000 annual income and hold that purchasing power over 50 years you need FV_2,50,0(30,000) = $80,750
Thus 80,750/.04 = $2,018,750. Adjustable if don't mind diluting your principle.

That's 2% a week.
With 50k, if you accomplished that 2% a week, you would have 134k in a year. You're a fucking retard if you think that's possible. Classic trap of thinking "oh well that's only 1-2% can't be that hard". If you could achieve those kind of rates you would have more money than Jeff Bezos in 10 years.

You have to take higher risk with 50K. I did say up to 100K. Also you purposely won't be compounding. The weekly premium should go into to something else. The strategy works less well as your bankroll grows because there isn't enough liquidity for you to buy as many options once you hit millions. That being said its an entirely legitimate strategy with smaller bank rolls. Why don't you fucking google "going short volatility" before you run your mouth about shit you clearly don't understanding.

>decrease your upside
It depends what you're diversifying into and what your goals are. Time and the volatility of stocks is the factor making you say you're decreasing your downside.
If you invest in blue-chip or "boring stocks", consistently and with regular new purchases every month and reinvest dividends to purchase more stock—then over 15 years you can easily have a fortune as you work your day job and trade "boring stocks" and "decreasing your downside".
It's all a matter of perspective and priority. Although you view getting into the higher volatility stocks as increasing upside, you are also exponentially increasing your risk of losing ALL your money. If you remove fundamentals from your decisions completely, it's complete gambling anon.

There are less risky stocks that can give you a huge ROI in a relatively short amount of time if you know where to look too desu. I have a few stocks that I've researched and came to the conclusion that they will increase between 70-120% in the next two years (based on a number of factors that effect the sectors, their R&D, Biden admin,etc).
So if I calculate my upside to be potentially 70% average between all the stocks I'm holding. Remember that's average. Then that is MASSIVE upside. In fact, I'd even say it's the realm of wishful thinking. New people in investing see 4x, 8x, 10x stocks, and although it's possible, statistically it's an anomaly that people buy in in time to make that kind of profit. For the average investor, making 15% ROI on stocks is very very successful.
But again, I'm making these calculation based off of a bunch of variables, so I see it as possible.

Hedge funds do it literally every year but okay. Why would I do that when I can trade crypto for more gains? Again I literally have 500,000 in networth and that will be easily worth 10x its value probably the EOY. Idk why you are seething so much. Obviously 1% a week is incredibly hard if you are buying options/stock blindly but FFS the PoP values are listed on most exchanges. All you do is search out stocks with high implied volatility.
