If you do not work and start trading to earn a living, then trading will become your robot. To start trading and do nothing else, you need to devote a lot of time to this business. Everyone wants to stop working for the boss and start trading, but not everyone can do it, because it's not easy. What will you do if you lose money once or twice or three times. After all, do not forget that trading is a very risky business.
Your success rate in trading does not depend on how much time that you put on it. You need such time when you are just starting as a newbie because you are new to everything you are seeing and you need to know how to navigate through it but if you have mastered the act, you only need to watch your trade, analyse your chart and know what trade decision to take. A newbie need such time but not an experienced trader. However, to rely on only trading for a living is going to put pressure on you.
Yeah that's for real, those who rely with trading as main source of living are people who invested time and manage to create a good strategy that can be adjustable in each market situation, not all can have that same results, even you have longer time but you are not that good in anticipating the market, still going to depend from how you adopt and how willing you are to make an extra mile to find a suited strategy that will help you to make a good decision making when placing your position.
That sentiment regarding to newbie who have longer time to be spent it's valid if the person is keen to learn more about the industry and how will they manage to create good patterns that they will follow to established a strategy that will give them some extra edge while positioning their trades.
