Do you see trading as fun and games?

[carlerha]

Trading gives me very nice feelings when I win and it gives me good lessons when i fail. I love it. It makes me focused and gives nice emotions ) Maybe like casino? But better. I am risky 

A critical analysis of the article mentioned in a summarized form according to the level of my understanding is, “the writer has said about the state of mind to how to be cool and calm while you are trading” and the fact is that trading is a process of continuous experimenting and learning. Trading in deed wants it to make it a hobby and a fun and to not to pressurise your nerves at any stage where a loss is not a loss forever but an opportunity to learn and mentor.
In trading it is not worth that you lose in fact it will make you understand to find the flaws in your work and decisions, once when you rectify the mistakes of your last trade then go with a new zeal and enthusiasm for the other round.

Believe me you are on the right track, this is how trading works when you make it your passion but don’t let anything to be done irresponsibly. Let me clear something about fun in trading when someone says that he is having fun with trading it doesn’t mean that he is not serious in trading but it simply means that they are enjoying their time when they are involved in trading. So, have a funny trading mates.

NO

Trading is not "fun and games" man, it is serious business and if you play around you are going to lose everything you have.

FUN AND GAMES
Recently Louise Bedford and I have been doing the Short Term Trading Magic seminars in a few places and it has been sometime since I did any form of presentation on a semi regular basis. As such it has been interesting to observe people as they work through various trading issues.

One of the things I have noted is that people take trading far too seriously and this is reflected in a form of desperation. Desperation is the antithesis of the state of mind you need to be in to trade effectively.

There is no deny that this is a phase everyone enters at some stage in their career but to be successful you need to move beyond this and begin to treat trading as the game that it is. Once I started treating trading as a game then it became so much easier on the soul and my results reflected this. I even have a t-shirt that says that the fewer fucks I give the more I make.

This is not to say that I am reckless but rather that I am in no way wedded to the outcome of any trade. At its core my life will not change if a trade or even a cluster of trades are winners or losers – they are simply not that important. When compared to real life, trading is nowhere near as important as people think it is.

It is often commented that children are better are learning new things than adults who seem set in their ways. I am not so certain that this is a reflection of any great cognitive superiority or plasticity that the young may have but rather a reflection of their willingness to be both wrong and to play. Young children have no ego therefore the mistakes that their play generate have no impact upon their sense of self-worth. As adults we lose this resilience because we believe that it is somehow catastrophic to our self-image if we do make mistakes.

But in trading your mistakes are your own – no one else can see them so you are insulated from the judgment of others. This isolation gives you the freedom to be wrong but the only thing you have to cope with is your own judgment.

 Markets are a wonderful universes for exploration and for play. The presence of micro contracts in various instruments and online trading mean that you experiment very cheaply.

The price of admission to the fun park is much lower than it used to be and the number of rides has gone through the roof. It is a shame that more traders don’t view trading as little more than a theme park where you can play to your heart’s content and during the process of playing you learn much more than you would if you were consumed by seriousness and desperation.

“To my way of thinking trading is an internal endeavour – there is no external enemy who you can deceive or overpower since markets only exist in the most ephemeral way inside your head. Markets may appear to be physical constructs but they are largely an illusion, trading occurs inside your head where your own perceptions and distortions of reality influence your decision making.” – Chris Tate

“The one thing you shouldn't feel pressured about is trading. If you do feel that way, you probably need to take a step back and reassess. Pressured trade(r)s don't make good trade(r)s.” – Joe Ross

if theres a huge money or bitcoins involved then i woudnlt consider it as playing or just for fun because trading is like a gambling and theres always a risk to consider thats why i take it seriously when i do trading , although there are still some people who are trading just for fun or they doing it as hobby , maybe because they are much wealthier and they wont really mind if they loose or win.

[ApocalypseNow]

To be honest, it's kind of fun experience to me. It doesn't have the pressure like gambling and there is a lot of altcoins that means there's a lot of choices. Dividing you investment into different altcoins has a lower risk of loss but you still need some research.

It was fun if we gaining profit but if not we feed bad, for me trading is not for fun and games this is a method that i used to increase my income and most of my earnings in signature campaign was invested in trading because having multiple earning method is one thing to make us rich and achieved our goals in life. I think mate you are here not just for fun, you are also looking for income to used for your daily expenses and you do not waste your money by investing for nothing. Treat trading as other source of your bitcoin for better.

[lienfaye]

Depends on how you treat it, if you trade because its one of your source of income then you have to take it seriously and make a wise planning investment to get a good result. on the other hand it can be fun if there is no huge capital on the line and just trying your luck if you can be lucky when you trade. for me its fun, its like a real job and you need to do your best to get compensation.

Yes its just the same as gambling with less risk to have. I am taking trading seriously and i always do a lot of research before investing into a new coin that i think has a potential and the best thing to do is read the comments of other experienced traders.

[gilangIDR]

I always consider trading as a serious thing. But I really enjoy it because trading can make me a lot of income. Currently my main income comes from trading. Pleasure is my goal and I do not think trading is a game. Because if you do not consider trading as a serious thing then we will not get maximum results.

[weredo911]

no. it's only fun when you get profit. If you cut loss you will feel hurt. so please serious when trading

[onrise]

many people very serious when trading. they dont think if they love trading like playing game they can do better. no one get tired or boring when play game.

I know few of them who have left their full time work and now into trading as they see an opportunity in future with bitcoin or other cypto currency. As this has being the highest returns provider in past couple of years due to which as well it has attracted a lot of people to get into btc.

[Monnt]

Trading seriously is a job , a career . Not funs and games as you see. Cause it's lead to money's problem. Nobody's earning money for fun or nobody's losing money for fun ( except billionaires) . So when things related to money, it becomes a real business.

We all work for money. So as people in bitcoin world only work so that they can get some good amount for making their lives better. So there is no fun or games at all. It is quite a serious job as your money is on stake. Why one put money in business and then have fun. No it not.

You are right. But do you know job can be fun and interesting at the same time ?
I have had jobs before in my profession outside bitcoin that I always wait for the next day to come so I can get back to work.

The challenges, the people, the goodies etc all makes a job interesting and not just boring. That is also what trading can be like if you understand the system, have plans and strategies and you are good at what you do.

[babysweetTiger0401]

You know what, it's really not a trading game for me, but it's a good asset for me to get a good income as a business. And it can produce profit if you do the right things in doing the actual trade in the platform, as long as your prediction is precise.

[eminemcookie]

I find trading to be fun and enjoyable a lot of the time and it does mimic game playing in some ways. However it is important to remember that it is not a game and it is a real market with real money at stake.

[syaripudin]

Trade is a very profitable activity and of course if you want to succeed in trading you have to do is seriousness so you can get pretty good results. but as I know in terms of trading activities will need to be balanced with patience because of course we will face a panic that makes our emotions uncontrollable. other than that we should consider this like a very fun activity so that we are not carried away by the atmosphere that makes us become stressed because this is an activity that produces profit but has a level of stress is quite extraordinary. so I guess jam seriousness do this activity with pleasure

[Bitcomo]

As some successful traders say "When trading becomes boring, it means you became a good trader"! Make money, have fun somewhere else, IMO

[futile-resistance]

of course trading is fun, but trading can not be relaxed like playing games we have to sharpen the brain and understand the market conditions and understand the latest developments of this digital currency, but I prefer to always happy in trading, it can control your emotions when the price plunge down.

If we see the things from one perspective, then you are right. But I think of trading as the most serious thing and it is not like playing a game or having fun, in fact not at all. This is something very much serious and you need to take it very much carefully. One wrong decision can result in a huge loss. So you need to think very wisely.

Successful trade can only be done by really serious people, because in the trading of bitcoin or other altcoin we have to be careful to make a decision not to choose the type of coins they will sell. If someone makes a trade just for fun, I think it's better not to do it, because trading requires expertise to be able to always monitor market prices in order to make a profit.

For me it's also a serious thing but to have fun every time you are trading is like loving what you are doing.
Sooner or later it will become your passion and when that happens you have a great chance of success because even if you will fail sometimes you will always look for improvement. The life of a trader is not easy because this job will require you to be active most of the time, so it's a commitment.

[ethereumhunter]

i don't think that trading as fun and games because in trading we need to use our passion to make profit and if we are only buy and sell without doing analyze and use trading is fun, we can not make profit. maybe there are any people which is use trading as a fun and games and maybe they are richest people which don't need money because they have a lot of money. but for the others, i know that trading is helping them to make money and because of trading they can buy something and they make trading as their jobs.
