Similarly, the guy (dentist, lawyer, banker, farmer, teacher, scientist ...) who NEEDs to work every day is a workaholic and should seek help. As long as the profession is your passion and not a chore, go and work as long as you want.
You are not a dentist! Pretending that trading is similar to a normal profession or traders of a bank(who may "trade" daily) and a retail trader is alike will lead you to ruin.
This question can have so many different answers, because I'm sure most on here are profitable long term holders, fewer are swing traders, and i'm guessing probably most noobs in here are trying to day trade *chuckles*, and then there might be 5% who are profitable but will lose it when markets turn, and then the beautiful 1% who has illegal access to golden information.
what i would like to see is a poll on how many traders have a plan each day of what to do prior to the market doing it. basically most traders do not have a "oh shit" "shit hit the fan" "what the fuck do i do now" list. that is why most fail they have no plan for failure.
Your positions should work for you! I may trade daily but I may not. If the market is not looking good I may not trade that day. Remember more often you stick your neck out more the possibility that that market chops it off. Then again I trade options often for a longer time frame and I have investments to look after. I am not bored even if I am not trading that day, I am watching the ES, just in case. Many traders scalp for pips or ticks and thinking more often they win a little, they are going something useful, like checking social media, for the instant reinforcement.
One of the best things about trading for those "in the know". You can trade every day if you want, but you can also trade less frequently if you don't need "maximum" money. That is, you know you can go to the market whenever you want and make $$... leaving free time for other things. Or maybe just trade in the morning and go play golf the rest of the day.
people treating trading like a wage job, when in fact you should treat it like a grand theft auto bank heist; once in a while payout
