The truth is trading is incredibly boring..

They only reason they are fighting with one hand behind their back is because every time we untie the other one, they start punching themselves again.:mad::banghead: Embarrasing to lose a fight to yourself...:(
 
A song written (the title referencing California as the entire state being a "hotel," since most of the creatives of the 60's and 70's were out-of-staters seeking creative fulfillment), not a specific building or location. It was a slang phrase of that era. Important to know your history, lest you repeat bad trades...
 
I honestly can't see how you'd choose this job if you're not interested in constant improvement, constant research and the quest for bigger and better.

If you're bored just consider what your competitors are doing. A few years back a hedge fund here in London was studying price discovery before the days of market manipulation. They needed 17th century shipping records of cargo sales from the British Library. Trouble was you weren't allowed to photocopy them or take pictures. So they commissioned a guy with photographic memory to go and memorise them. It's that kind of level of commitment I love about this game.
 
With the right level of motivation, trading can be interesting with practice and consistency. Also, it depends from person to person.
 
No, it is not true. Practice again and again on a demo account can make you good at trading and you will feel interesting as well. Drawdowns can be painful but not every time it is the same. It requires a little consistency and you won’t feel bored again.
 
Trading is not boring, in my opinion. It's actually monotonous for those who aren't familiar with the Forex markets. But, if you continue to practice trading patterns, you will eventually develop an interest in forex trading.
