When it comes to addiction, the first thing that comes to mind is gambling, but trading is also a type of addiction, for those who trade with intense emotions and cannot control their emotions, trading is a type of addiction. Just as a gambler cannot get rid of that addiction until his money is completely gone, those who do not have a good understanding of trading do not realize that they are addicted to it until their money is gone. There are many who are inspired by the success stories of successful traders and trade themselves and lose money. The main mistake behind losing this money is their lack of knowledge about trading, if someone wants to take direct risks without increasing their knowledge about it, they will always become addicted. Since betting can be done in trading, it is the cause of addiction like gambling. Although trading is addictive, it is not like gambling, trading requires knowledge and skill, but gambling mostly depends on luck. I think trading is only addictive for those who don't have good knowledge about it and can't control it. Do you think so too?

I share your sentiments. Trading without knowledge is like gambling and can lead to addiction.

Addiction has negative consequences that can lead to financial instability and even bankruptcy. I say this because many people sometimes say that traders who trade constantly or monitor market prices daily are addicted. However, as long as they can control their emotions, have sound trading knowledge, and act responsibly, it's not an addiction.
Addiction occurs when a trader engages in unhealthy trading practices, such as trading through debt and chasing profits to cover losses without prior evaluation.
