Hey SML! I believe that several times you said that you don't want to do any work, you just want to make money. If you are a successful trader then you'll know the work required.
Hello deaddog, You are correct. I do not look at or think of trading as hard work. I LOVE IT. It is not work to me. I can do 24 hours a day, 250 days a year. I love it and I am obsessed with trading the ES market. There is no other business on the earth better then trading the ES market.
Now if you told me I had to sit in front of a monitor while the market was open 5 days a week I'd consider that work. Now I have a passion for the markets and I like to make money. If I couldn't make money I probably wouldn't be speculating. But I spend maybe 1/2 an hour a day and make about the same as I did when I was day trading ES. Day trading is work. I'm working for my money. Speculation is me supervising my money as it works for me.
Hello deaddog, I like speculating trading the ES everyday for about 30 minutes to a hour. It is very fun.
