Full time trading is boring

[Natalim]

That's boring if you are not making money or if you are making money but you have no satisfaction.
We only love trading when we are challenge and at the same time we enjoy good results, it's like a job and everyone of us wants to do a lot of things as that's a healthy lifestyle but we can only do that if we have money in our wallet and of course we can get that in trading.

let's just say we trade to sacrifice but when we achieve our financial goal, we should think of retirement.

I was like you sitting in front of a computer monitoring the trade charts every day for 20 hours and sleeping for only 4 hours that has been done for 6 years, suddenly I have a pain in the head called vertigo and it really makes my head hurt play, now it's time to be able to enjoy life out socializing and also holidays sometimes make us healthier again, I don't think it's saturating it's just that you need to enjoy life so you don't feel bored, go on vacation or do other activities out there, right now I'm only trade for a certain time where every good moment I trade, at least not every time at the computer again like before because it's not so young anymore, lol

All work is boring if you are not happy with it, you can only happily work if you are doing the job you love. If you are bored with trading daily it is better to change it, choose short-term trading and limit monitoring of this market. Personally, I'm also trading daily but I'm not bored because profit makes me satisfied with this job, and I feel more comfortable than my previous office job.

If something feels boring then it means that it is not your passion or you are not passionate about doing it. You should try other things like other type of source of income rather than sticking with full time trading. Explore and try different things and that is how you are going to find something that will not feel boring to you and you will enjoy doing it, full time, everyday.

All the things that you do every day will be annoying. If you have a routine and doing the same thing every day for months or years, it's reasonable to be bored. It's in human nature. What you need to do is to pause on trading and enjoy things just like what you said, you are going to work to meet new people. That is an excellent way to cure your boredom or go on vacation and enjoy your life lol.

I have the same experience that trading becomes boring, Even though my trades are doing great, but my life isn't. What I do is take a vacation and enjoy my earnings. Full-time trading is an excellent way to earn money if you are a great trader, but the downfall to it is, it isn't exciting so what you need to do are trade and travel

Sure it's boring that's why I don't do it anymore. Trading Bitcoin used to be fun when you couldn't short it on futures. Once the futures launched it's a constant bloodbath. I don't know how bots are doing at the moment but there's so many of them that they have to be profitable.

boredom is in every work , I just go out of my house in weekend for some cool spots and chill I never even carry my mobile or laptop just relax in weekend , we are human being any work repeated for several months and we fell bored so change your routine and do trading with fun , maintain your health go to gym interact with people in gym and clubs enjoy what you are doing

That's it. You have to bear it if it makes you money and then spend the money on something funny and relaxing.
Some people become artists or inventors and do what they like but it usually pays worse than good old boring job.

One of the biggest cons of full time trading is being alone , boring sitting in front of computer watching charts data all the time from past 6 moths i am almost doing this and now because of this i am not able to focus on trades. i feel like quieting full time trading and go to job so i make some new friends and Socialness

what you guys do to avoid this biggest cons on full time trading

I prefer to do activities alone like trading. Because I can only focus if I do it myself. but I also don't like to trade full time. That was very boring to me. Not because of loneliness, but I get bored easily doing work that is too monotonous. To overcome boredom while trading, I took the time to buy beer while smoking weed, sometimes I watch porn or go skateboarding.

This is to know that trading isn't for everyone, and as you've said, passion and dedication are very important otherwise, you feel exaggerated and not comfortable. That is the best suggestion, EXPLORE and FIND a place where we are going to be happy. And @OP, you'll soon find it, may you didn't succeed in trading but hoping in the other fields. But in me, I'll just enjoy the moment that I'm still in crypto trading.

Well, I think you don't need to face in front of your computer all the time, yeah as a trader you need to monitor the market all the time but that doesn't mean you will have no time for your self. One of the solution I can think of is to manage your time, plan your time don't just sit and monitor your screen. In addition, if you have felt boredom in doing such thing then probably that wasn't your passion so maybe full time trade wasn't thing for you much better if you will use trading as alternative way of getting profit.

I am now do long term trading. Not boring because day trading but really stressful for me. And don't know because i am not interested, or not my passion or maybe i am bad in it, after change to long term trading, it is not stressful anymore since i am not really much see bitcoin and ETH price in market since i hold both of that coins.

To make it less stressful you have to start playing with your profits. I know it's hard at first but if you get lucky with one or two good trades withdraw your investment leaving only profit on the exchange. Losing it will not harm your finances and you'll be able to invest more boldly. For me it worked well.

I agree that day trading is boring but so is writing articles translating texts, bounty hunting and many other things. That's why it's called work not pleasure.

My stressful sometime i always panic when do day trading. Not only with my own capital but sometime although use my profit, i panic and cut loss. Most of my day trading will end with that. Maybe i am not a people who good at day trading or maybe need to make my emotion to be stronger first.+

[ashmodeus]

well,even with music and low alcoholic drinks it's still bored. because i cant talk with anyone.
if u talking about chit-chat on discord or another platfrom,it doesn't matter because i still depressed with a days trading.
but,when u get a profit,its change everything for me,even though just a penny profit.

I guess you need to find another way to cope up your loneliness and stressful days in trading. Learn to take a break so that your mood will get back once you are drained from all day sitting and trading while facing the monitor all day. I know it's too boring especially if you are in a waiting game to do some scalping. Learn how to trade effectively without draining too much energy.

i dont think so, since we must focused on live chart. you know, it's totally wicked sick. that why, when i totally bored,of course wrong action its a common mistake,like buy or sell without prediction.
also its look like a introvet,itsn't ?

To be a successful trader full-time you've got to be behind it otherwise you can't expect good results. But besides this you've got to try to something else for your entertainment in order that you'll be happy to try to your work without fear about other things coming to your head.

[leowonderful]

Good trading is boring, and that's just how it'll be. You can always try to turn on music (which I also do), but not everybody's made to be able to trade full time like this; I was initially very enthusiastic about potentially trading full-time in the past as well, but the boredom also got to me in a few days.

Trading bots could indeed be a way to alleviate some of this boredom if you trust your strategies enough. I do, and most of my trading nowadays is done through Gunbot where I occasionally do some tweaking and let the bot run the strategies I devise at home, though I would much rather prefer to manually handle my trades.

Anyone can agree that any business will bore you if you will do it continuously but some people like to earn money for them earning money and doing their business is the best entertainment out of all others so they do not get bored while they do their business to earn money the same people are also in crypto trading and they do trade the whole day and when they earn in trade then they feel pleasure.

Why not, OP?
Don't let it be just a "feeling" and start finding a job already. You might not want to spend one-third of your life just staring at the computer.
You need something to enjoy at and relax. You should be earning while enjoying life at the same time.

You are also right but it do not mean that if a person is a good trader then he have to find even another job as that trader is a good trader because of his full time research and observation about the market so if he will diverge his focus then he will not be able to gain the profit like he was, the better option for a full time trader is to do trade full time and try to find pleasure in his trade and save some time to spend with family members to get some rest of mind.

[yanto@1977]

I'm sure about that and boring must be handle wisely before create problem for us. Drink couple coffee and sleep is cheap way to avoid boring and stress, another option is vacation. The important thing is you should leave market right now if boring attack, your decision will non sense and strategy is useless. Before that happen , close your laptop drink coffee and sleep, that the right action.

[vicoma]

full-time trading during the bearish time like this might be frustrating. I quit some time ago and just place my order for a long time in mind, so I am lees moved with the price action but will go back when we get momentum and fresh money begin to come into the cryptocurrency exchanges. Till then, I am holding.

[Btc_1856]

Yes, full-time trading is completely boring because of some time it might take to execute the order for more than 2 days. So instead of keep watching the order why don't we spend our time analyzing other coins and it will surely help us for our future trades.

[Genemind]

Full-time trading would never go boring if you'll enjoy it but it's fine to socialize and enjoy sometimes. Doing it full time doesn't necessarily mean that you have to commit your whole life doing it. There are still exceptions but the best part if, you are earning enough which would benefit you as well. We could do either part-time or full-time trading as long as we're earning enough.
