In my opinion you should choose trading only if you love this process, if you are talented in it and want to go for it not just for fast profits - you should love this game itself, spend your time with pleasure. Don't treat it like job, otherwise you'd better choose investing.
Regular trading is not like a hobby. It requires to be disciplined and systematic to make a profit. Simple hodling seems to be more easier way to earn money without permanent risk to lose your earnings on trading, especially using high leverages.
For some people and they are considering the trade as their hobby, that depends on the personal opinion and we can't generalize them all of the trade is not like a hobby. It's not always to be a discipline person and what you need to do just always try to maintain your trade properly through use the features that already available on the exchange site.
