Cannot relate to this at all. I keep talking about the freedom of trading from your phone. It is one of the biggest edges a trader can have. You 100% DO need to put in the time to be one of the best, otherwise you will get left behind by those willing and wanting to put in the hard yards. In fact It's like this with anything in life, you have to make the sacrifices needed. BUT, You don't need to be trapped in front of a computer for 14 hours per day to do it. I recall making my first million: I was on a beautiful, tropical island with my family. I was full of life and thanking God that I broke the 7 figure barrier. I have never put as many hours into trading as I do now. I am full of life and vitality. And every single night I lie in bed thinking, 'I just want it to be morning already so I can enjoy life again'. Besides, it's either this or getting yelled at by your boss for taking a 3 minute shit and staying 1 minute late past your break time
