You don't have to monitor the markets all of the time. Just because you don't day trade, you're no longer a trader. You're still considered as a trader if you buy and sell at any time that you want. It is when patience comes and makes it as an important attitude to cater your success through trading. Patience in a manner that you only sell when you get into profit, you don't make yourself affected by any bad news but you go according to your plan of when and how much is the price you're about to sell.
