I agree that any job that you can make money from is stress, and there is a lossp potential at trading but if you are a business owner then you can lose and even bankrupt your whole company and lose it all as well, you think that is not stress? That is why I never went against any of my bosses that I worked with, either I quit or I keep working, because I never judge the bosso n how much they make and how little they pay us, if the boss goes bankrupt, I can find another job, but they will end up with a lot of loss, much more than me. The reality is that trading is similar, you either make a profit, or a loss, and that is not stress, feeding three kids and a wife with a single salary? That is stress, having a disabled kid that you need to take care of until you die? That is stress. Trading whenever you want? That is a hobby, if you dislike it so much, stop.
