This is how investment works.
Once you stop looking at charts 24/7, the money starts flowing.
You can notice day traders are always poor. They took the trade meme literally. You only tell the normie you are a trader to fake a job, they will think you work from home to some overseas company. It was never meant to be serious.
The day trader is a normie, though, so he thinks he have to work to make money with investments. He starts to move the money around like it was some tool and lose it. He starts to use leverage because it reminds him of levers, which he thinks he needs to pull around, in order to feel he is working, so he can feel exhausted and use his exhaustion as a trophy to show to the other normies. Hustle culture is npc culture, and when applied to trading is a recipe for disaster.
