If you've ever read PitBull, you will notice he often talks about his "grubstake." The grubstake is the amount needed to trade and live, whereas the trading volume is not dependent on actual living. Personally I think it's very difficult for someone to trade full time if there is so much emotion attached to the trading such as living expenses, family obligations and so forth.
Is anyone trading full time and if so, what is your grubstake? What do you feel you need in your bank account/trading account to comfortably make enough money to live, and also go through draw downs without ruining your standard of living?
