"I'm 34, what the heck am I supposed to do with the rest of my life? Of course I'll keep doing what I'm great at and what I enjoy. It's like asking some great musician, 'hey, why don't you retire?' when [they] just reach success. Most people who are not successful at trading, they hate trading, so all they are thinking about is to make enough money so they don't have to trade. That's the problem. Most traders are not where they want to be. Very few traders are where they want to be, so they kind of project their own situation on others.
For me at this point it's not even a job, it's a hobby. I feel I have total control, I have very low expectations, and I can afford to have low expectations because I have a lot of money, and I don't need to make money every day, every month. I feel no pressure, I just try to be the best trader I can be. I just go with the flow ... and I don't trade a lot of hours, I only trade a few hours a day ... it's not like I'm sitting here eight hours and trading.
No one would ever ask that question to an athlete or a musician or an artist, but somehow I, as a trader, get that question all the time. Just because you hate trading doesn't mean I do.”
