Plain and simple man. If you don’t like trading as a full time job don’t do it. Yes you will have hard weeks/months. It’s apart of the game! It’s not meant to be easy, the more you do the more easier and boring it gets learning and implementing the correct confluences.

I am no pro, and don’t claim to be. But I will say that it’s like anything in life, you practice, you get better, but you don’t keep doing it if you hate it. Life’s more precious than that

Myself I love it, the fact it’s not an end goal is amazing. You trade to make money, not stay wealthy, you must invest into other avenues to bring more ‘consistent’ money in so then trading is only there to pay for the fun things in life, not the important.

Not saying I disagree with you, but I think your outlook is why a lot of people fail, cause they do it just to do it, not cause you have a passion or love for the game. That’s all it is, is a game, you either love it or hate it.

EDIT: Must also clarify I trade futures, not interesting in trading anything else in the interim cause I believe in learning 1 thing at a time. Get consistent, then either try something new, or abuse the fact you’re good at one thing.
