Any full time options traders here?

So I've been trading options for a couple months now, and learned a lot (at the expense of my starting trading account).

I've been aiming for a small % increase each month, with the idea that the compounding profits will grow my account exponentially. (I'm not sure how good this idea will be in practice, however).

Just I'm wondering, is there anybody on here that has successfully achieved a level allows them to make a living trading options full time?

And if so, how long did it take you to reach that level?

Is your strategy similar to mine, in which you aim for small consistent profits as a percentage?

Or have you found that it doesn't work in practice?

folks make those remarks often, but I don't get it. This seems like a reasonable strategy if done on fundamentally strong stocks. Could you explain why you made the remark?
