The hard work in trading comes in the preparation. The actual process of trading, however, should be effortless. Without question, all of the best trades require little effort.

But that does not make trading easy; at the contrary it’s far from it. Before a profitable trade can be easy, traders have to put in the screen time to make it so. Trading has an inverse relationship to other things in life – meaning the harder you try to build a trading account, the less likely you are to succeed.
