Trading always consume a lot of time, observing the market doesn't only require hours but days, you need to be always updated, I think you can only do both when you're work is not that hard or your boss will let you do what you want on your free time. You need to choose one except you will do a long term trade.
Yup, it's not for beginners, even the experts are losing some money because of trading, it is better if you know some experienced trader and you will ride on you will learn a lot from them and you will feel the market but its going to take months or years before you can learn from your mistakes, my losses in trading is about 30k$. Because I'm too noob back then, but Im slowly taking it back.
Thats the deal on trading, I'd been regretting selling some of my coins back then especially when I see how huge the increase of such coins like stratis and encryptotel before, but those decisions can be our stepping stone to make a better steps the next time so analyze coins well.
