My opinion for what it is worth ... not sure it is laziness, I believe it has more to do with the repeated headlines we all read whether it is FBook, Local Papers, News, Advertising or whatever ... even here on FF ... headlines are designed to capture attention and many are "shared" because of the headline ... the overnight success, how [insert name here] made a Million in 79 days doing/using [Insert Product Here] and so on and so on ... Advertisers do it all the time ... why ... statistics show that it has a high probability of generating a good return on investment or so the [Insert Advertiser/Marketing Company Name Here] says ...
Many people believe the advertised headline and expect quick results [Insert Diet Here] it is probably no different here on FF. They "believe" it will happen to them and want it now, not realising that the "overnight" success actually spent 10 years hard work struggling for success, that information is all in the article but that needs to be read and research completed and most people don't have time or don't want to make time to do due diligence.
When they don't receive the results that others "claimed" to have achieved ... lost 40 pounds in 7 minutes a day then it can't be their fault ... because if they admit it is then they are also admitting they have "failed"... it must be the diet and they move onto the next "wonder product" instead of asking why and doing some research and self diagnosis.
Unfortunately many just believe the headline and act accordingly, after all it is an instant world, and that may also be why most traders fail, in fact it may be why 80% of general businesses fail in the first five years followed by another 80% in the next 5 years ... so the end result in business it not very different to FX.
96% failure rate.
So is it laziness or how [Insert Advertiser/Marketing Company Name Here] have programmed the general public's mind to "believe"?

IMHO... Peoples are getting lazy to used un necessary use of demo trading.... Because they can't tast a win or lose.. In virtual money they get bad habit on this exercise.
Hi, very good point here. I think it also has to do more with the modern life style in which everything is accessible after some touches of a screen on a smartphone. To watch a movie, you just have to search netflix/ stan and press play; Before you had to go to a video rental shop, find it, take it home and return it after watching back to the store. Heck, we have the entire Internet knowledge in the palm of our hand, something that was a dream at that time. BUT most do not seem to use or understand this power.

Furthermore, many assume that trading is a simple task of pressing buy or sell based on indicators; like a job, do the things and you get paid. This is totally wrong way to think about trading IMHO. It should be thought of more as a Business, were you have to put in effort to grow, adapt and evolve and not just carry out a single task expecting to get paid. We must know all areas of our trading business and work on them to succeed. Baker that doesn't know what the smeg "YEAST" does and how you use it will fail to make bread, even though they know the ingredients and how to cut it up in perfect slices.

Anyways, just my 2 cents. Thank you for this interesting topic OP and to all those that have contributed.

Kind Regards,
Tzamo

My opinion: its rather simple actually. Please are lazy, people are emotional, people don't take responsibility for what they do.

The issue here, is that in normal life, YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET AWAY WITH IT !! A little lie here, a little manipulation there, the shit you do, you blame it on your boss, you blame it on your wife/husband, you blame it on your family. And the check comes at the end of the month and life goes on.

Trading, well, you can say all you want that it was your wife/husband's/families/friends/bosses fault all day long, that the market doesn't give you your money back.

Most people can't handle accepting they are lazy, Most people don't want to accept they are lazy, Most people just want to continue being lazy, because we all know that people don't make money in trading because of the cheating brokers.

And this is the first part. Next is the part who tell all their friends they are disciplined, and their friends completely believe it. Market doesn't.

The list goes on ....

I really really don't like there books. Were one of the firsts i read. Did more harm than good ( no , the market is not a MACD spring/summer/autumn/winter seasoning. It is actually harmfull, reinforcing the idea that if you buy on a long trend you are the poor loser that is late and feeds the market )

I agree most books on trading are total bull shit, but I do like trading in the zone because it is about what goes on in your head.
and that's what matters.

You mis understood me, I was just mentioning the book from the quoted post.

Trading in the Zone, and other Mark Douglas interviews/videos, are a must watch, even if you are not even into trading.

It is so annoying actually. A trader no matter which market he is actually selecting to trader can't afford to be a lazy person. Forex market is not a stable one; market moves or changes in versatile directions. So; a trader needs to change his trading styles or approaches according to the changes in the forex market. And patience; perseverance; hard work and ability to take pressures are the greatest weapons of each successful trader.

And of course there is another way to look at this topic ... maybe the people we "perceive" as lazy are not lazy at all ... they are very efficient time managers ... instead of doing all the searching and thinking for themselves they "throw" it out to the universe and all those kind, helpful people whose see that one of their goals in life is to help others take on the task ... and the "perceived lazies" simply have those people do all the work for them.
They are really looking after the interests of others ... they are making others feel good about themselves because the others have helped someone (Win #1) and the perceived lazies are getting the work (searching etc) done quickly and for free (Win #2) ... it could be called a Win Win for all.
