I've been a professional poker player for the last 2 years. I've been very successful, but earning power is limited to some degree in poker. I've debated getting into trading because I know poker and trading have many of the same skill sets, and if I was as successful at trading as I've been at poker I'm pretty confident I'd have the ability to make 7 figures/ year, since your earning power is uncapped with trading. However, I know nothing about trading, other than people who hear I'm a pro poker player telling me that I should get into trading because I can make more, etc... I use more than enough bankroll management; play on multiple screens, 8 games at once online, many times on auto-pilot because I've seen the same betting patterns a million times before and know how to counter it, maximizing gains and minimizing losses. From what I described here(my job) and what traders describe, it seems almost identical.
If I could learn to do this with trading, would I make the ridiculous amount of money people tell me I will make? How difficult is it to learn? Are people here making serious money?($500k+/year) What % returns are people making yearly?(I know totally noob question but I know nothing about it and I think it's important to know what type of numbers people are putting up to know if it's worth taking time away from poker to learn it.)
