When you earn $500 in trading, it's not the same as earning $500 as a salary. One successful trade can involve 40 hours of active work, while another may require just a single trading action. But the apparent simplicity of the second trade masks a huge amount of preparation: months of systematic learning of strategies, constant work on emotional control, deep study of risk management, and relentless discipline at every moment of trading.

This is the paradox: trading condenses time investment to a minimum, but at the same time exponentially increases psychological pressure. For every $500 in profit, there is invisible work that goes far beyond the hours spent in front of the screen.
