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.
I read what you explained and it is like trading management that every trader must do, patience and also a self-made plan is what traders must do to be successful, without proper trading management traders will have a hard time getting success.
trading management can be done easily, it's not something complicated,
the secret to successful trading is that you can read an analysis, because trading requires proper analysis.
Not as easy as you think. I have approached many professional trader and they said that money management is the hardest thing because you can be affected by your emotions.
Many of my friends who read hundreds of books but still, they can not make a monthly profit with trading. Learning is only 20% of trading, according to many sources
