So we can understand how valuable it is to have a balance of trading and main working activities. It is efficient to use the available time and get as involved in the market as we need to be without having to giving up other duties. By manipulating the trading time or the time we dedicate to investing we can do it with more concentration and serenity. Moreover, getting out when the market is bearish is the best decision, as we lose not a penny and can invest at a better time.
It's easy to say but in practice, your psychology will really come into play.
The plan to exit the bear market and buy when the price is lower will not go according to plan when you follow the FOMO too much and buy at a high price, it will be quite a burden for you.
You really have to be able to control the psychology of trading well, don't follow FOMO too much and do the right management.
And about the time balance between trading and the main work activity, it can be adjusted according to the main work activity, do not let the main job be abandoned because the main job is a source of income that needs to be maintained for the continuity of your investment.
