What motivates you as a trader?

[Lakai01]

A trader analyzes the market, invests money, and expects good returns in the end after putting in all efforts, managing risk, and controlling stress levels.

But this is also where the danger lies: Newcomers hope to make a quick buck, but lose all their capital in the first few months and will most likely never come back.

For me, the motivation is quite clear: fun.
I know that I'm not a professional trader (and never will be), so it's extremely unrealistic to expect to make a positive return from trading over a long period of time. You have to be that honest with yourself.

I've also learned a lot about myself through trading, including the points you mentioned, especially managing stress levels during trades. Being able to do this also helps you a lot in your day-to-day work.

My motivates to trade is for make money. I see many people can make a profit from trading so I tried that after I learn more about trading. I can say that gives me a profit and also a lose because I am not a pro trader but I keep trying to learn more about trading. Most people will have a reason why they are trade and that is because they want to make money. They also read on their social media that many people share their outcome in trading and that is a lot of money that they can get from trading.

Each people will have their own way so we will have differences for doing trading. But money will be the reason why people trading and that will attract more people to try trading and see how good they are in trading. But you must understand that to become a pro trader is difficult and that needs to have a good skills.

My motivation in trading is the profit that comes off it without a lot of energy being employed. Trading is nearly similar to passive income because while trading, you are not putting in any energy, it's just a brain work that requires you to sit at a place and calculate, then slide into a position and wait for your target to reach. If it's a lucky day where all your trade is success, you would realize you have made a lot of money just in your room, meanwhile there are thousands of people working in an environment that they think is not sustainable for themselves but they are left with no option than to keep working.

What's your motivation?

Nothing motivates a trader more than money because getting you profit is more amazing than everything, so there is no trader in this like that who will tell you that he is not motivated by the money, although in some cases I might say knowledge. because you will have more knowledge about crypto than others that know nothing about it, and also you will have a higher knowledge in maintaining your patience and also your risk, so if not for this then nothing will motivate you because in life after god, the first thing that will come to your mind is money, so that’s the reason why you will do research, make up your mind, and also put your money to see the profit you are getting. All you need to stay away from is getting greedy in times of profit. 

Even many are having different theories and related things but here all is one as main point is having more money for us and having better life because without this motivation no one going to enter this trading as it's one of the best way to have money without any limit just need to have things well understood and on good track for your way in trading.

With this now main motivation or enjoyment is how you are doing your all work because if you are comfortable and having better knowledge and analysis of your work then you can take better results which are always positive for anyone who is having motivation to jump into trading. Controlling emotions and keeping yourself for having profit is always good because if you are not able to control yourself for having greediness or wrong decisions also never been good for this because we can lose more than our gain.

All traders motivation is same like to you, everyone's dream to rich quickly in cryptocurrency trading it's the biggest motivation. In trading you don't have to do physical work or do need to waste energy but I think there is a lot of mental stress which is much more than physical work.

[SatoPrincess]

Money of course! I’m yet to meet anyone irl who says otherwise. Trading isn’t fun at the very least and I don’t believe anyone decides to be a trader because it’s fun. The joy of being a trader is when you’re profitable. Knowing you can be anywhere and work (trade) without having to go to an office or deal with co-workers is a good reason to be a crypto/forex trader.

Trading is not a get rich quick scheme  and I didn't picture it like that which I believe that's what you are trying to think it is. Although it requires you no energy to trade but it is easy said than done. Trading is requires your time, commitment and attention before you can even start making profit. Losses is part of trading and no matter how good you are, you will definitely experience lose which can affect you emotionally.

Hey mates, happy weekend! I think we should have a discussion about what motivates traders.

Is it the thrill of seeing your setup come to fruition, the money and flexibility that successful trades offer, or perhaps the partnerships and extra rewarding events that successful traders get to participate in?

What's your motivation?

Main motivation? "MONEY or PROFITS"

It would be that a total lie if you would really deny this primary reason on why you do involved yourself on trading on which it will really be just that normal that you will really be aiming for making money.
The main motivation for me is to be that consistent or sustainable kind of trader on which despite of the loses you do have, you do still end up on being profitable. Yes, it would be understandable that there would
really be those moments or times that you will be having those loses and this is something which is normal. The key on here is on how you do sustain on different market conditions on which this is something
that you would be needing to focus on.

After how many years i do made myself involved with trading or in short with this crypto market. I havent considered myself to be something sustainable but im trying out my very best
to become even up to now. Experience would be the key but there's no definite time that will tell you that you are already capable enough. How i wish that i do quit up
or resign into my job and this is really the thing that keeps me going.

Flexibility in income, someone who becomes a professional trader is always attractive to me, because they are not adrift with work time like employees, do not have a grumpy boss, do trading activities wherever I want, that's what makes me very motivated by this trading world.

Yes, although it is not an easy thing because only a small percentage of people aspire to become successful traders, among them maybe only 3%-6%, because many people give up on the way.

But before we die why can't we work on it, right?

The biggest motivation for trading is about making a profit. Traders strive to make a profit on every trading session they do, but they know that it is very unlikely to get a success rate of 90%+. I completely don't know what the motivations of other traders are who have continued trading so far, but as for me, of course I want to get worth it profits from it.

Hey mates, happy weekend! I think we should have a discussion about what motivates traders.

My main motivation for trading is to make money. I'm trading because of the profits and how I can see my prediction go correctly and give me satisfaction. I enjoy participating in predictions and with trading, everytime that you trade, you're making a prediction that you can either get it correctly or you fail and lose your money. I don't see how possible it'll be for any reason that there are people trading because they want to lose money. I know some people trade just for fun but they don't do it everything with making money. Before a trade comes out successful, there's some work that have been put in through analysis and proper research hence no trader will intentionally want to lose all the time that he has dedicated to trading and money that he/she is investing into trading. Everybody is trading to make profits as the primary reason and any other reason is secondary.

Most likely, we all want to see our trades come into fruition, hence getting some good returns out from the funds we used in trading. And when we are getting good trades, then the more that we need to trade more to double or triple our money out from a small capital.

Money is the ultimate goal in trading. Although losing is inevitable, and it's okay to lose, but we should always outnumber our losses in trading and make more visible gains than losses.

[CoinFoxs]

I have seen people have different opinions on this question which is frequently asked by a crypto trader, the only thing which motivates me to do trading is profit as i have been earning from crypto trading since very long so this is the only reason which motivates me when market start growing and i start earning from my investments i will give more time to trading to get more profit.

[nara1892]

I think it is clear that in general money is the biggest motivation for traders, because after all that is the main purpose of why we are involved in the profession. If there is no money in it which is a primary means of exchange that is always important in life then I think it is unlikely for someone to be willing to spend a lot of time even up to years to improve their skills and knowledge, and all that is done because we want to get more money and also want to have more ways to minimize the possibility of losses that are too significant. Another thing that I can see from trading is that this is a profession that can be used as a place to test discipline, consistency in learning, patience, financial management and building a strong mentality.

Not only about the money involved,  but also trading is one of the best business or skill one can ever have that is guaranteed of your freedom, the moment you get it right. it a business you can do from the comfort of home in any part of the world seamlessly, so far there's an internet connection available with you. As a trader, you have the opportunity to participate in the largest money market in the world, were you have opportunity to earn money where the big banks and hedge funds and other financial institutions earn money.

It is clear that the main motivation of traders is money, wherever and whatever the final goal is to pursue success from things done in various ways.
 The motivation given by traders is very pleasant with their success in getting profits gradually from small to large, I think being a trader who is always profitable is very cool and it's not all easy like the motivation that exists because every success must be accompanied by hard work inside.

[Dr.Osh]

Well, the only thing that drives me to trade is because it is still profitable and can provide great benefits. Although trading has high risks, if we do not cross the line, and always pay attention to important things, then I think it will reduce the risk. In addition, some people also make profits in a short time. This encourages other people's enthusiasm to be greater to trade.

Hey mates, happy weekend! I think we should have a discussion about what motivates traders.

What's your motivation?

Outwardly? Money
Inwardly? Personal satisfaction

Those are the major ones. i want to make the money first, then be able to help others in my circle too make the money as well. The sense of personal satisfaction comes from it . These are my motivating focus that I think of each day waking up as a trader.

What about the feeling of seeing your setup come to fruition? Knowledge? Experience?.

I agree with your last paragraph. It can definitely be used to test patience levels, discipline, consistency etc..

Different traders will have what makes them happy and motivates them differently.

All traders have just one thing that motivates them to continue to trade with happy mind. That is making profit from trading. I have been a trader for over four years now and I know that is the truth. If traders are losing, they are not happy with the situation. But if they are making money, they are happy with the situation. But it has a problem which is more encouragement to trade which can also still have bad effect on the trader's health. So it is good to trade wisely and have time for yourself and health.
