Many think that if you make money in the stock market you are either a gambler with an addiction problem or a ruthless guy who works 1 hour a day and relaxes in his beach house. As a Daytrader life isn't about lying at beaches and you are, of course, no gambler.

You are working! Like everyone else. You have to have your day planned out: You get up in the morning and go to work. First you analyse the markets and the news and make prediction on how the market is going to move today.

There are diffrent styles of trading: some do it fully "automatic", by putting in their limits and stops they have gotten through analysing. Other just want a bit more control and will do everything manually.

The later is very tiresome, the first comes closes to the impression of working 1 hour, but it takes far more experience and some patience.
