I spent ~12 hours a day at my desk trading in 2018-19'. I also nuked my physical health, social life, and mental state in the process. for every person that tells you to walk away from the bear market and focus on preserving your sanity/capital, there's another that says you're going to endure a ton of opportunity cost when better conditions come - paying 'tuition fees' to the market in the middle of a more favorable environment. both are correct; these thoughts are not mutually exclusive. the answer is never definitive, but rather some form of a balanced mixture of both for each individual, which allows you to thrive in your own regard as long as you understand the benefits and consequences of these actions: you really can't go wrong the only thing wrong would be to worry about what someone else is doing with their money, instead of worrying about your own.
