Right! Hey Mr. Market! Don't you dare to move on my day off! The stock market doesn't yield to anybody's schedule. It appears that you do not have the "do whatever it takes" attitude to trading. You will "do whatever is convenient for you". Cause to failure #1. And you pick "day trading". You seem to have picked the most difficult type of trading to tackle. Like taking a formula one race car for your first driving lesson. Cause to failure #2. Apparently you are facing some life priority conflicts. Some people value more their leisure, love, family, passion for a hobby, travel around the world, whatever, over a job... Nothing wrong with that. But it takes a full-time effort to be good at trading (to a point to be profitable consistently). Maybe after that, you can trade only 2 hours a day and make enough money to support a whole family. Until then... But... everybody's learning curve is different. Maybe you can make 6 digit figures doing it 2 nights a week after 2 months. Good luck!
