I am not a full time trader in most people's sense of the word (i.e. I don't make trades everyday and trading is not my primary income.) But at this point in my life I don't want to be a full time trader.

That being said, I do have a 20 minute routine I do each day that keeps me abreast of market conditions. And when conditions are right (usually 8 to 12 times a year), I am a full time trader for the next few days.

I don't make as much as if I was grinding out trades full time, but it is worth the effort. I have struck a balance that I am happy with.

If I had to suggest a book to read it would be The Hedge Fund Edge by Mark Boucher.
