"Is trading hard?" I don't know, you tell me. We need the mental toughness of a pro athlete, patience of a monk, precision of a brain surgeon, pattern recognition of a chess grandmaster. All at the same time. Under pressure. While managing fear, greed, ego...in real time, with your own money on the line. Competing against the smartest people on earth, the richest people on earth... who have better data, faster technology, and deeper pockets. Whose entire business model is taking retail's money. Oh ya...and you're expected to stay calm, make rational decisions, and execute while in a violent dogfight with your own emotions. Is trading hard? I don't know, you tell me. Next question.
