Amen kymar,
Another thing you don't hear around here much is the truth: Trading is hard. Anyone who says otherwise is either some reincarnated super guru or a liar. I really think that is what causes the bitchiness. With trading there is no support system; you are totally on your own. Most people, I think, really can't handle this lifestyle.

That's the truth. Stress is high because of uncertainty(no guaranteed paycheck) and inactivity. Survival instincts are always telling you to "do something" but that's what will harm you. Having to overcome that urge continuously is very stressful, at least at first.
