I have to fund my account, that is the issue. So, I can either go get a real job in the insurance industry again, and suffer through all that, not being able to trade or even watch the markets all day, or go gte a job in a brokerage.

The goal is to fund my account as quickly as possible. That is all I care about. 12k and some change is not enough to successfully trade for a living. I need 10 times that.
