At this point I feel the need to diverge a bit and speak from personal experience, not just to you but for anyone reading... Keep in mind that major cyclical transition turbulence is likely to involve much more than just monetary movements - civil unrest, disease, war, etc. Surviving all of these in the hopes of attaining vast monetary holdings is a trapping of material thinking.
The only things that last through all of this are your relationships and reputations with others. Among consenting parties, what delineates a beneficially constructive relationship or reputation and a harmfully destructive one is the element of control - manipulation and power struggles cause eventual failure and animosity, not to mention the cognitive load incurred in maintaining such a power structure.
Yes, it is certainly possible to attain financial independence and leave the traditional workforce through trading but always trade responsibly and always have an alternative path for yourself, whether a career or hobby. Those around you have value that exceeds any monetary gain - cultivate those relationships more than your account balances.

Being genuinely happy with the fewest things you need to control is indeed the most antifragile happiness along the journey:
The world isn't so neatly ordered as we may want it to be. It is a journey, not comparative level or one-right-way. High horses are for those too blind to see their pedestal teetering on stilts in quicksand. Babylon.
Note there are those who are in a much worse predicament than me. I can't fathom their suffering. I suffered so much and I don't even want to remember it. So I see what these sufferers are going through and I can't even tolerate thinking about it. I feel for them but I don't even want to feel for them. I have no reserve of strength to suffer more (really if they didn't cure this I was getting tired of fighting) to even entertain the thought of suffering. I want to be far away from it for a long while. Perhaps the example of Jesus wasn't to emulate him but to realize he suffered for us, because we aren't capable of suffering all of it (no matter how strong we think we are). I am not becoming religious again, just saying.
If I will become wealthy, I think I must pay for the surgery for those who suffering such this man who will soon go blind without surgery to remove tumors from his face. How could you make this man a little bit happy. The gravity of it.
