The truth is trading is incredibly boring..

[Nobert]

The moment you forget that the end goal is lamborginis and naked hooes dancing on the tables of your fund HQ, it becomes boring.

It is magic of compounding. For someone with $30k he can turn it into $100mil in 20 years with a 50% return annually. But everyone wants to shoot for the moon which often has adverse results.

Expecting 50% returns annually for 20 years isn't considered shooting for the moon?

Not that is shooting from Earendel.

I have had a time in my life where I only did trading. Never again. It was stupid, boring and not fulfilling for me. Since I made a switch and start doing other things, I even got better at trading. It is just something I do for an hour or so a day. Leaving the rest of the day enjoying other stuff.

In fact the trading is boring yet we have to develop patience to wait for the trade setups to form in order to make profits.

Not as boring as a job working behind a Wendy’s dumpster.

In this day and age with cryptocurrencies it really isn't that high when you get 10x-few hundredx baggers occassionally.

The only time you would be interested is the start just like the start of romancing someone in an honeymoon period.

You could also invest the time between trades for new approaches like PF building, daytrading if you swing trade and so on

Day trading is a big no no for me. Like doing 1-3 trades a day is still good but doing 10 or more is excessive. Anyway that is my experience.
