When you have got other sources of income then you can trade for emotional satisfaction. But, I am trading for money, as I don't have other sources of income. At this young age, I need a lot of money to support my family. So, If I can some, It would be good for my family.
same here mate...i  am not trading just for emotional satisfaction but because we need money for family's needs.I still have son who will be in college soon that is why we work hard to have money.Lucky are those who are trading just for emotional satisfaction.

And I get this so-called emotional satisfaction when I get the money. I am trading for the profit, and I think that this is normal. I can get fun and joy from the other things - in the family, mixing with friends,  resting, etc.
Emotional satisfaction would really be there if you do earn out of your trades but if we do talk on the main purpose why we do trade then its clearly that we do seek out for money or do aim for it. Emotional satisfaction do usually involve on things like love life and any other mutual relations which would lead up to satisfaction but when we do talk majorly on making profits then its normal to point out that this is for the sake on making money.
I think we need to set clear goals and executing it properly. The fact that trading is full of uncertainties and fear, we really have to be prepared in dealing its complexities. Practically, I invest for money and expecting high rate of returns from it. At some point, I realized that in trading it requires us to nourish not only our cognitive skills, but also emotionally, because normally we tend to get emotional during difficulties and it's not easy to cope up from that circumstances. From that experience I learned that I need to invest in my emotional satisfaction as well. Trading is full of surprises, the results may not always be at its best, and it could somehow affect us emotionally. I need to stabilize more on my emotional aspects, to be strong in facing any challenges and nurture it with hope. Our respond also matters as to how mature and responsible are we to deal emotional troubles and satisfaction.
