Hey mates, happy weekend! I think we should have a discussion about what motivates traders.
Is it the thrill of seeing your setup come to fruition, the money and flexibility that successful trades offer, or perhaps the partnerships and extra rewarding events that successful traders get to participate in?
What's your motivation?
Everything you've mentioned has definitely motivated traders to pursue trading despite of the risks and the market volatility it has to offer. And as long as there are people who claimed to have succeeded in trading and are now enjoying the comfort of their lives, then most likely a lot of aspiring traders will continue to risk in trading until success comes into fruition.
well, besides that, the profit potential of trading is almost unlimited. It could mean that with a capital of $10, it could become $1000, although it takes an indefinite amount of time with the risk of losing $10. Many people still make a profit in trading, and as long as it still provides profit, then people will be motivated. So, I think, the motivation that makes people still trade until now is because trading still provides income, even though there is a risk from it.
