I know several people who have become successful at trading. Read published interviews of these traders. All of the traders I know do not consider it an easy stress-free source of instant riches. They treat it as a serious business because they are trading with real money. Some of the best traders burn out periodically, and need to take a break.
Successful traders tend to strive for balance.
They do not trade all day every day, and then study charts after hours. And then take a few trades in the after-market, and talk trading all their waking hours, etc. Most successful traders tend to have a balanced lifestyle with varied interests. Good traders need to counter the stress of trading in healthy ways. Trading is a psychological adventure, manage your mind and emotions.
