Yes, there can be addiction in trading too, addiction is something that can happen to anyone, but in trading where everything depends on luck, if someone thinks completely unrealistically, only then can he get addicted to trading. But such a case is very rare that someone gets addicted to trading, however, as a trader you always have to be realistic, here the whole thing depends on your skills, the more perfect you can trade here, the more profit you can make, in short, here you will get results depending on the strength of your skills. emotions, greed, and addiction will only bring losses here, nothing else.

In my opinion, trading addiction occurs when someone loses their sense of reality and constantly believes they will eventually profit and recoup their current losses. Addicted traders have high self-confidence. If they experience losses, they borrow money here and there because they are so confident they can make a profit and then repay the money they borrowed. This is similar to gambling. Basically, they don't evaluate their mistakes and learn from their experiences.

Because trading all the time, in my opinion, isn't an addiction, especially if they trade responsibly. So, my understanding of addiction isn't that they frequently experience losses or waste a lot of time trading, but rather that they never learn from experience, don't learn from their mistakes, and don't admit their mistakes. They believe they will profit but lack a clear strategy. In fact, they are so confident that they use money from anywhere to trade.
