So the question is, can one becomes addicted to trading same way gambling can be addictive?
If yes what are the sign to know that one is becoming a trading addicts?
Yes, trading is also addictive as gambling, just that the damage trading does to your mental health is way more higher than gambling, and the losses is even more severe, and due to the losses and the mental stress in trading, it's more easier to stop than gambling, but you will hardly see someone talking about it, because is quiet easy to forgo the habit.
You are one of the few who understand the psychology of addiction in trading, unlike how many relate it directly to that of gambling, they are not the same thing. Gambling has produced the highest number of addicts, and this addiction is in stages, which is why many are addicted to gambling and still continue to gamble because the severity of the addiction is not alarming, thanks to how you can use a low wager in gambling.
But in trading, if you are addicted, it means that you are parting ways with a sizable amount of money over time. How many people can be consistent with that? So they leave early.
