Let's see if successful traders have similar traits ... It doesn't seem like work for me but I am online from the time i get up and get withdrawals when i leave my workstation for a couple of hours.
It's not so much that I'm obsessed with the market, per se,....it's more that I have no life, aside from the market. The market is my whole identity, and worth. and purpose. -- it may seem kind of sad, sure,...but alot of people are basically married to their work. Specially in alot of Asian countries. As soon as I hit my goal (God willing)....I'll take things slightly easier and calmer, I'll run a bar or coffee shop on a Hawaiian beach to keep me busy, and write a book on the side,
I assume you are not married. Otherwise if you are spending all your time in front of the computer, your ex-wife will be on the beach in Hawaii with your money and her yoga instructor while you work to get some scratch together to become the next bitcoin millionaire- or not.
