The reason why people are into trading is for the profit that is involved, if not for the profit I doubt people would want to waste their time to trade. The profit in trading makes people to have interest in trading, and most people at first they see trading as what is very easy but along the line the ones that are weak will take a break or quit while the strong ones would still want to expand their knowledge as to gain profit in trading. Trading is a good skill that has good profit that attract people to engage in it, but this profit in trading is not something that people can just come into it to try their luck or without any knowledge.
Traders who are still into trading have come to understand that no matter how risky trading can it is still something that is very interesting when you have the real knowledge to follow it up.
Another factor that makes people to want to become traders is that it is a job they can do from their own home, they do not need to buy equipment, pay other people and the many other things you may have to do if you decided to create your own business, and when you pair this with how easy trading seems on the surface, this can help us explain why trading is so popular nowadays, as many people see it as the only way they have to realistically improve their lives.
