Re: Is Trading also addictive?

Trading can be addictive, but not like gambling. Before someone gets addicted to trading, that trader must be a profitable trader, and since you already have a profitable trader, even if you are addicted to trading, then I will say there is not much trading since you have the knowledge of what you are doing and you are not predicting the market; ..

It doesn't matter which trader is profitable or unprofitable, since addiction in both trading and gambling is based on dopamine, which is released not only when winning, but also when waiting for a profit.

Thats the reality Cheesy

, for the most part profit or loss, doesn't have much to do with the addiction.
When the button hits adrenaline increases, then when the trade turns out to be good, dopamine increase as well.

It's easy to understand how people can be addicted, but trust me most of the people who are good at trading never getting addicted.

Addiction in trading depends on individuals and it's not like gambling when you get addiction due to your chasing loses or looking for ways to make faster profits. Trading is beyond this and that's why we have been seeing less of addictive traders in the crypto market.
Anyone can get an addiction but trading not everyone. If you are not good and you keep trading, you will continue to lose and if this continues, you will have no option than to quit.

I agree with you, the possibility of addiction in trading is very low, because there is no material to get addicted to trading, trading runs on the power of skill, so if you work with emotion here, you will not get anything but loss as a result. You have to learn more from the loss in trading, and you have to avoid making that mistake in the next trade, this is the main point of trading. And if we want to talk about addiction, then in that case addiction is the only place where people can achieve big wins without any kind of knowledge, skill, research, that means gambling, but there the possibility of getting big wins is 10%, and the possibility of losing is 90%, and this is why people are addicted to gambling most of the time, but trading is not an addictive thing.
