I get passive income from stock dividends. Most people who trade for a living spend a lot of time looking at charts (if into technical analysis) or doing research (if investing based on fundamentals). I wouldn't call stock trading passive unless you have a fully automated system. I've seen plenty of people lose more money doing this through paying transaction fees and regular income tax over and over again, rather than just holding the S&P 500 for a couple decades.

Yes, probably stock trading is more difficult and the questions is and the question is more suitable for general trade!

How to stay in touch in the market that affect your actions? Sell the action when the price starts to rise, or wait a specific moment?
