Imagine you do what you are meant to do, and in doing it well, you got something more from it, like a reward or praise or recognition. That is what happens when you are good at trading, people start to want to hear you speak. You could even engage in mega events like Trading Showdown and show people your portfolio and how much of a gain you have made from it, and your followers get to benefit too
No need praise for someone who understands the process of life and usually people who are more happy with praise or gifts are people who have not achieved success in any work activities.
In trading we see opportunities to generate maximum profits even though in certain conditions losses also cannot be avoided because the market moves so quickly beyond control.
Habits as you tell are people who need recognition of success and usually they will do something to influence others.
Like mentors who sell signals and they will try to provide proof of success in trade so that others will follow.
Whether the steps are quite important or not then it depends on the perspective of each based on needs because for ordinary people show a portfolio to others at all is not important.
