I am not, but I know someone who does trading stocks.

Watching open trades and searching for new ones. There is very little idle
time during market hours. Bathroom breaks are a luxury.

IMO, his success is due mainly to hard work and perserverence. He puts in
about 80 to 100 hours a week including market hours. He's also a very good
chart reader.

Mostly discretionary, although he uses TS a lot for exit signals.

I hope it can be emulated, because I've been trying!
