Yeah trading shouldn't be seen as a Job or something one needs to hold on to for the time being because it comes with a lot of advantage and disadvantages and I would say the disadvantage may seem more than the other. Trading us usually profitable when you can be able to understand the markets and mind you not putting in much hopes on it isn't good and that's what makes it seem stressful when you're putting in your best and yet no results.
I will not make trading as my main job because for me it is too difficult and I have to understand the market all the time not to mention the mind drain where I have to monitor the market all the time... maybe there are some people who work full time on trading but for me it will not be able to.
Trading is more risky... so it's better to HODL and still have another job in general.
Especially trading in futures is more terrible where the risk in this trade the risk of loss is much greater than spot.
