The above statement is true, but only from a certain point of view...
I only need to trade a few minutes every hour, I work from home, I have no daily commute and I have uncapped earnings. This is all correct. What people don't see is the amount of time and commitment involved in getting to this point. My trading journey has taken hours of study, practice, losses and frustrations - it has not been an easy journey.
Read the quote below from As a Man Thinketh...
'Seeing a man grow rich, they say, "How lucky he is!" Observing another become intellectual they exclaim, "How highly favoured he is!" And noting the saintly character and wide influence of another, they remark, "How chance aids him at every turn!" They don't see the trials and failures and the struggles which these men have voluntarily encountered in order to gain their experience; have no knowledge of the sacrifices they have made, of the undaunted efforts they have put forth, of the faith they have exercised'
Conclusion... Trading is not easy, nor will it ever be. Anything worth achieving is hard, whether that is success in trading, business, marriage or fitness! This is a universal principle of success.
I have spent 5 years working hours on top of my 'normal' job to get to the point I'm at now. Sure, I can now spend 30 minutes looking at the charts in order to set my entries for the day but you don't see the hundreds of hours and thousands of manually backtested trades I've done to get here.

Facts, to be able to make money spending an hour or less a day on the charts, first you need to spend countless hours on the charts
