Is trading really hard work?

Baron (forum owner) is on record of saying at his forum that when an active member suddenly dissapears its more likely due to the fact that they blew up their trading account.

He didn't say it as a joke...I think he really believes that.

In contrast, the most likely reason is due to either the trader moved to another competing forum/social media that the trader believes suits their needs better, the trader has changed user name and is still posting here at ET or the trader has had a serious illness and currently not able to post or the trader is on a very long vacation.

I think most members here would say that ET is not on their list of notification about sudden changes in their online habits. :D

According to me actual trading is not that hard a work, but what’s harder is to bring in the discipline that is required to be a good trader. Executing an order is easy, it has got nothing more than buying and selling. But the research that goes into taking an order towards execution is the real hard work involved.

You have to be well prepared for any situation in the market well beforehand and that is the tricky part. Be aware of when you have to pull the triggers during trading. For this you need to do a lot of homework. From being up-to-date with the news and current affairs to being in flow with the market events, it has got a lot of work.

The difficulty is in not knowing, eg, it's difficult for a homeless person to attain anything, but for the well heeled they fall into it.

Trading is hard work at the start but it should be effortless during the trading process.To reach at some level,one needs to work hard as it is all about discipline. Just like for example, one trains himself for a marathon or a tennis match, typically the preparation is much harder than the actual game Right? Likewise executing the trades is easy but before that it is good to put in your own time and do some research and make your strategies to enjoy the trading.
