Traded my own account last

Traded my own account last year. Made enough money to quit my job, go back to school full-time for a year and finish my finance degree. I'm not trading "big" (or at all) now because I can't afford to lose the money and I can't watch the screen. Actually, I made one trade yesterday after two months off because I'm really focusing on school now. It has been hard not to trade with what I think is an easy market, but good traders and managers need discipline.
