many of my friends do this, speculating on prices and trade profits. Trading is kinda of a soothing activity at times under stress. Checking out portfolio multiple times a day and just to distract away from problem in hand. 
That's why i paused in trading because i know that i cannot handle the stress from work, business,family and trading and also gambling.So now i choose to stay Holding instead of stressing myself.
Sometimes it is not about the profit but about our health and happiness .
