Is Stock Trading Too Stressful or the Best Way to Make Money?

A stock market newbie shared on a forum that trading stocks is incredibly exhausting. Short-term trading is tiring because it requires constant monitoring and reviewing. However, some believe the exhaustion stems from using the wrong approach. Others admit it’s tiring but worthwhile when the profits come in. Is trading exhausting for you? Does the effort match the rewards? Do you have any simple yet profitable trading strategies to share with beginners?

2025 Tiger Brokers Trade To Win
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ When it comes to stock trading, opinions vary widely. Some see it as overly stressful, while others view it as one of the best ways to build wealth. In my experience, whether it becomes stressful largely depends on how you approach it. For those who adopt a long-term investment strategy through DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging), stress can be significantly reduced. With this method, you invest a fixed amount regularly, regardless of market fluctuations. This approach allows you to buy more shares when prices drop and fewer when prices rise, helping you average out your investment costs over time. Since you’re not constantly monitoring the market or reacting to daily price changes, you can remain calm even during market downturns. T
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ a bit stressful if you not in the US hours. 
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ stress or not is depends on how we deal with our emotions with stock market. Try to focus for long term instead of short term investment. 
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ the effect of trading can be a rollercoaster, high adrenaline includes an element of tiredness which results in the feelings of exhaustion. Management of expectations in a high stress fast paced environment are possible but personal. Hopefully the profits and associated endorphins counter your fatigues. ⭐
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Stock trading can be stressful due to market volatility and the risk of loss, but it offers potential for significant returns with the right strategy and discipline. It’s not for everyone—success depends on knowledge, risk tolerance, and emotional control. For many, it’s a tool to grow wealth rather than a guaranteed path to riches.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ For someone who started trading during the covid pandemic, stock investment can be both stressful and rewarding, depending on various factors such as one's knowledge, approach, and financial goals. For me, I entered with zero knowledge but with some spare funds so my feelings are mixed.  Stressful: It can be overwhelming if you’re new to investing, lack a clear strategy, or frequently monitor market fluctuations. The uncertainty and risks of losing money, especially during market downturns, can also add to the stress. This is especially true when one does not have spare funds and are investing using day-to-day funds it can be overwhelming  Rewarding: On the flip side, with proper research, a long-term mindset,

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ there are no free lunch. Everything we do there is a price to pay. Just have to do our due diligence 
Trading is not easy, price can drop so much, need to study the company and study the market conditions.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Everyone has their own risk tolerance and mindset. Trading does not and should not be stressful such that it takes over your life. There are different strategies with different approaches. The key is to find yours which is profitable while you are comfortable. Over time, I found mine which works for me.
Disclaimer: Whatever I say or post doesn't act as financial advice, so please do your due diligence before making any decision. I have been a retail trader in the stock market for 6 years now. Ive dived into most variations of trading available for lehmann like us such as Investment Linked Plan (through insurance companies), DCA into Unit Trusts and Exchange Traded Funds, all types of Options trading, swing trading with stocks.  All in all, I learned that stress comes with everything you do anyways. Its a by product of the hardwork and effort u put into learning to do something to the best of your ability. So if you let stress be a hinderance of being able to invest for your own future, then you have to come to the fact that you are relying on your active income from your job to keep

Sometimes, stock trading can be very stressful when you keep seeing red, red... Learn not to trade daily and just watch market run its course.

I m a long term investor and I have my own plan of investing. 1st 2-3 months of 2024, I FOMO and just go to stocks market and acquire stocks. It is like going to vegetables section of supermarket and grab whatever I think is reasonable price. Unfortunately, there will be some people tend to comment that I have bought it at a higher price and they are expecting it to be lower. To each its own and they have no clue about my trading plans. Yesterday, 3 banks are ATH but I was sitting on the fence. I can’t use my SRS to buy them as OCBC-SRS are not opened for me to contribute SGD$15300. 😠😤😡🤬. Anyway, it was a blessing in disguise as today banks heading south. This year, I will not FOMO but will be a 🐌 or 🐢.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Stock trading is inherently more stressful than stock investment. For the former your aim is to make quick money, need constant monitoring n feel extremely depressed when market turns against you. I have learnt to hollow out my heart whenever I seize opportunity to trade with spare cash, win very happy, lose not feeling sad, since I was prepared for any outcome. I don't trade big sum, but I invest big sum for long term, more to obtain dividends to pay bills.  Know your personality. If you are the type that is extremely risk adverse and feel depressed easily, best not to enter stock market. There are other  risk free ways to make decent returns. Most beginners tend to lose some money, but you gain more confiden
