What happened? Trading was supposed to give me freedom, Now I am working like a dog

  1. I trade for 5 minutes a day and make all the money I'll need for 10 lifetimes.

    Give it a few more days, you'll get there too.

    what a lie, no market is liquid enough and moved in 5 min enough for you to make that much money

    the only way is if you position trade and you set everything up in 5 min and then watch it from afar
    that's what you meant right ?

    I used to do that in the nineties, buy the dips on my lunch hour [PST] and sell in the morning. I never got it down to five minutes but they didn't have a lot of the software then either... it's funny, people were against holding overnight, then more recent research shows that the overnight gaps are a lot of the total gains in a trend... I had it right in the first place...

    hard work got me where I am.. where am I?

    I read this somewhere early in my trading life:

    "This is the hardest easy money you'll ever get."

    It took me some years to realize that I should do the "hardest" part first before I get the "easy" part.
