I'll tell you how my life isn't complicated: I don't have a boss...no one tells me what to do. How do you like all your different bosses? I have no commute to work...unless you consider walking down the stairs to my office in my underwear. How's your commute...fun like they always are? I make my own hours and vacations as I choose...do you? I spend a ton of time with my family. I have time to teach neighborhood kids how to box and coach girls softball with my daughter. Are you married to your job? Do you put in a ton of hours to make that salary? I don't have to worry about getting fired by my employer...do you? I don't have to worry about losing my job in the next recession...do you? I find intraday trading gets easier during recessionary market crashes...volatility is a day traders dream. BEING STUCK TO A SCREEN MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO ME AND I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE!
I like your post BONE, you drove your point home... But I have to comment here... "I have no commute to work...unless you consider walking down the stairs to my office in my underwear..." You know, some of us here have very visual thought processes. That is how we can analyze charts and make money, hopefully. But that visual is one we just do NOT NEED LOL! My mind went immediately to tighty-whiteys. Folks, where did YOUR visual cortex take you, upon reading that line?
They all just need to stfu. I can stand to come to ET about three times a year nowadays. Why do people that don't know anywhere near enough at all have to keep going with their opinions?
For me it does not make sense because I have not yet reached the consistency. Yes I would like it? Of course, it's my dream. I admire who has achieved it. I really opened this thread because I am angry after so many years trying and I can not get it. You know how frustrating this can sometimes be ...
Money is hard to earn, but it hurts more to lose it. It is undoubtedly the trade where you can feel more euphoria or pain.
They say that in trading you do not have to have feelings. The only way to be relaxed is when you know what you are doing. That's why you have to approach the intraday with great care, it takes a lot of experience. If you do not have it, it is better not to approach.
Because they are frustrated. They are angry because they cannot achieve what others can. So for their own ego they have to repeat all the time the same nonsense to convince themselves that they are not losers. There are a lot of them on ET.
