i too am looking for finacial freedom. I am fortunate to have a well paying job but i just enjoy the excitement of trading and i like the idea of creating my own account and working for myself. I am looking at this as a way of creating an account that i can just grow and keep re investing my profits into the account and once its sizable enough i can take some out and use itas a deposite on an investment property. BUT as we all know too well you need to be consistantly profitable to achieve this. I have 2 weeknesses that i need to work on the first is not taking a trade just for the sake of trading and the other is learning to let profits run. I have no problem admitting when i am wrong and am happy to take a loss but watching my my winning trade start to retrace i tend to close it out where i should be locking in profit and maybe setting my TP higher and maybe make use of a trailing stop.
