He was recently dragged for charging $40 for a 17-second Cameo, and admitted he hasn&#8217;t lived in a home for over four years, but wants to trade full-time in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>One person who claims they&#8217;re familiar with day trading said: &#8220;My dad is in a Florida group of retirees that meet in Pandera Bread and talk about it every week lol. It&#8217;s to help supplement their social security checks. Very few day traders make enough to not have a day job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another person who trades wrote in a Reddit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIsBlindNetflix\/comments\/1rnkw9n\/so_was_alex_unemployed\/\">thread<\/a>: &#8220;I actually make money *most years* off of trading stocks, wouldn&#8217;t call myself a day trader anymore, but even when I was doing it full time, and in months I would make more than I make at a 9-5.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Alex, the nomadic soccer coach who exclusively day trades the Australian dollar vs. the U.S. dollar, certainly has everything figured out <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LoveIsBlind10?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LoveIsBlind10<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jWuKTHOJQv\">pic.twitter.com\/jWuKTHOJQv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steven Cheah (@StevenCheah) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StevenCheah\/status\/2026864442600820870?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 26, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\u00a0They added: &#8220;I would not under any circumstance tell people that is what I do for work. Day trading is gambling unless you actually know what you are doing and Alex clearly does not lol.&#8221; Essentially, Alex is a hobby trader, and only trades in Australian currency.<\/p>\n<p>Someone else said in the thread: &#8220;I dabble in trading but don&#8217;t really do forex like what he is claiming to do. It appears if you shorted at the max and sold at the minimum, $50,000 you would have made about $900. That is one trade over the whole week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet another Love Is Blind viewer wrote: &#8220;My cousin used to day trade as his job. He was doing it straight up like a 9-5 job. He was at his computer all day doing this. You have to watch the market all day basically,&#8221; while another said Alex worked with them doing tech sales.<\/p>\n<p><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and
