yes of course I see your point, I just had to pinpoint your angle a bit.
And I admit I agree with you completely. There were a few times I was reaching 30 hours per week such as last summer and winter, but I'm but I'm not even committed enough to work that hard anymore. In fact trading is one of many individual hobbies I've had (I've written a novel before, studied astronomy hours on end, and several others).
The truth is I've never committed myself to anything as much as I hear the truly successful traders have to get where they are. For example I only spent maybe 2 hours per day on the novel and never looked at it again after editing chapters 1 and 2.
What I'm dealing with now is that my heart really isn't into trying to re-commit to trading. In fact the only thing I've ever committed to is self-improvement, experimentation and trying to find my thing (my other hobbies this summer have been dancing, Spanish, applying for a semester abroad). Even so, I've only spent a relatively half-assed amount of time on each.
Unfortunately it seems now that I'm unsure if I am unable to commit and work hard, if I just haven't found my niche, or maybe if that niche really is learning and self-improvement - but I guess that is my problem to deal with.
As for trading I think I just want to swing trade for a while. I've found that the lack of patience and hard work in my recent trading has been more a result of me not caring than mental weakness - my longest trading session in the last three months was three hours long, and I used to roll through 6-8 like it was nothing. I'm just not into doing that right now.
Thank you asiaprop your concern is opening my mind to new things. Thankfully I'm not too stubborn to listen like I was when I first started trading; the market taught me that.
