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?
Obviously money is the number one thing that motivates all of us, there is no doubt about that part for sure. I think it's clear that we are going to face with traders who also enjoy doing it as well. Money however, is not easy to make in trading, you have to become a good trader to make that money and unless you are careful then you could even lose money while trading as well.
This isn't like a job, it is not like you work hard and make money for sure, you are not going to get paid salary based on how many hours you trader, it is a risk that you are taking and after a month of working hard you could end up in a loss. That risk is very important because if you are not careful then you could lose all that you have and that's a bit bad for you.
Many people think that trading is something you can make money from and only focus on that part, of course it is something you can make money from there is no denying that, but at the same time it is something that will not be easy to deal with neither if you lose money instead. This is why we should be careful with it and not really get too much ahead of ourselves, if we do that then we are going to face something that is getting very hard for us.
