If yes what are the sign to know that one is becoming a trading addicts?
Yes, trading is addictive, but the only difference is that its addiction is not as rampant/tough as that of gambling and others.
The reason is that a bigger money is involved in trading, unlike gambling, where you can continue to gamble a little or a big amount, or a mix of the two, without control. The money in trading always teaches people that lesson and forces them to quit it more easily.
How do you know you are addicted to trading? Just as with other addictions, you will be unproductively and uncontrollably do it.
Why not when trading and gambling are often link to each other? It also/still depend on the person as some can only experience a slight addiction on either gambling or trading, while the other is the opposite of it.
I don't know how gambling and trading are linked together as you painted it, I just don't know. For me, they are not linked together, but have a certain thing in common, which is risk. I can assure you that good traders know what they are doing and manage their way to success, unlike gambling, which is highly luck-based. It's basically betting.
That aside. This is practical, those people whom I know who are gambling are still gambling, especially those who are core gamblers, despite losing far more than what they gained. But today, only a trader remains among the hundreds of traders I knew. This is the same everywhere. Hasn't that rung a bell that the addiction in gambling is not the same as that in trading?
Actually i can be connected but we do know that trading isnt something that you can be pertaining about taking up some leisure or entertainment. This is different thing and it does depend on how someone will be that able to handle out in between things whether they will be that serious or not. For trading then it could be that partially be addictive at the moment that you are making some profits or making up some good trades. Who doesnt want to earn money? This is the primary motive or action on why we are that doing trading in the first place. Using up your own common sense will be that enough for you to distinguish in regarding or in difference between leisure thing and with some investment/business. It will be just that too impossible that you cant be able to determine on how you would be able to deal off with things accordingly because if we do tend to make out some engagement then it will be that basing up on what things you've been dealing into.
Trading could be that ending up on being a gambling if you arent that applying any analysis into it. Gambling and trading is different thing because leisure time is totally opposite on what we are trying out to deal into. Using up your own awareness and common sense will be able to tell on what are the things that you do need to do in order for you to sustain specially on trading. Gambling is for past time and entertainment on which you shouldnt be putting up too much money allocated for this one because it will be that creating that devastating kind condition or situation at the moment that you do become addicted specially on gambling.
