Trading as a business

I have been trading futures for almost 2yrs. I traded stocks, forex, and crypto before that. I've done limited options trades. A couple months ago I as given notice with my employer as part of a larger staffing reduction. Thankfully, they gave me the time off with gap pay and severance - a miracle really. This has allowed me to focus on trading full time (While looking for other work). Markets being what they are, I am having trouble finding new work despite a stellar resume as an IT professional. I have warned my family that trading is likely my new full time job. I have passed more than one challenge account, and then lost them. I currently have one funded acct, and several that are about to pass. My goal is 20+ funded accounts trading at $200/day target. That is much more net than any job I have ever had. I am also teaching this model to my children.
