The typical trader assumes a good deal of risk in most phases of his life. He is both an aggressive investor and an active gambler.
Personally I don't get any emotional satisfaction in the investing, trading or exchanging a currencies. Moreover, I try to reduce any negative risks in order to don't play a "gambling game". If I understand that I made a mistake, I become a distressed, because only me is responsible for my own financial decisions. I just want to get a profit.
