Believe me, many are. But if you want to be one of the ones who makes a boat load of money in this space, then you have to keep playing the game while others start to give up. That's what sets you apart from the crowd. That's what makes you a winner in a game in which everybody's simply not gonna make it. How bad do you want it? How much time/effort are you willing to put in to get it? This doesn't mean you need to sit and stare at your screen all day- doing that isn't going to make the candles move any faster. It does mean you need to hang in there when the market is chopping/shaking people out, and find a way to pass the time until the market shapes up in your favor again. If you can do that you'll still be here and make it out to the other side while many of your peers have fallen off, and that's when you'll no longer be part of the losing crowd but rather the winning minority. Find a hobby or passion project to keep you busy, spend more time with family/friends, prioritize your health and physical/mental well being, travel (if you can), read a new book, educate yourself more about trading/investing, take this time to do things you may not have nearly as much time for when the market IS hot and you actually DO have to spend your time staring at the screen. Make the most of this "free time" while you have it because it won't last forever and you want to be fresh and ready for when the market turns in your favor (because it will).
