Are there any full-time traders that are living off the FOREX profits?

Typically, people start trading so that they can do something else.... like going to work.

I don't suggest that it invalidates the discussion, but do you guys realise that the questions you're answering were asked 9 years ago by a member whose last log-in here was over 7 years ago? I mention it only because there are far more recent/current threads discussing the same issues a little more relevantly and on the basis of much more up-to-date information.
