Are you addicted to trading?

[Rambo35]

I have met a few traders who appeared to be addicted to trading and even though they were not professional traders they tended to make their daily decisions based on their trading and often cancelled or rescheduled planed events during the week due to trading.

I think they did that because they were not profitable and believed that they need to be glued to their screens in order to finally turn around and generate profits on a few trades. They seemed addicted to it which influenced their lives in a negative way. You always read about the positives in trading, but very few mention the negative impacts a lot of people suffer (besides losing your capital).

I am a new trader .I am doing trading for getting experience of this market. Some times I face great loss and do trading on demo . If I can not succeed for a lng time I will not remain addicted to it . I will leave trading.

Granted some traders stay glued to the screens in the hopes that the prevailing trend will reverse..and this is the case with most newbies, chalk it up to human nature.
But as they gain more experience and become better at trading, they should be able to downscale their trading time rather than the usual rote of 12 - 14 hrs a day, in front of the laptop.

I totally agree with you on that one.
