Trading is fun :P

[YOSHIE]

I feel that trading is fun (just like sex) - the process itself has to be enjoyable and if it is not fun, it is not worth wasting your time.

Trading in the crypto market, if you say so and see them doing it in the media is very easy, but doing it is difficult, if you don't believe it just do it and see the results.

Trading is not the same as watching a James Bond film, you are really required to use your skills and knowledge in trading, It's up to you to use the margin features, futures and so on, without knowledge you won't get anything, it's fun for those who understand and have knowledge.

I wouldn't say it's fun, but it has to be enjoyable. We shouldn't be careless with our money; we have to be very cautious when investing in cryptocurrencies, but certainly, we can enjoy trading as a "relaxing" activity. In the beginning, I was like that; it was almost a game where I was "paying" to learn. As time goes by, it gets more serious, the amounts start to increase, and with them, the worries, which is normal when dealing with investments.

There are traders who are careless with their money and they find it fun when they trade. Because the first thought is they'll make money out of it.

But in the long run, they're only losing more money that they can't afford to lose. And that's why if they're going to make so much trades, they're only making more losses to themselves.

I rarely find people who are making trading as a way to become relaxed but yeah... it can be to each their own.

Well said but some wouldnt agree with that, when trading is approached as a craft rather than a desperate chase for money, it becomes a practice of discipline, curiosity, and self mastery. Enjoying the process makes risk more manageable because decisions are guided by understanding, not emotion.

In that mindset, volatility and black swan events become opportunities to learn instead of threats to fear.
Ultimately, trading reflects life itself which means self defined, and fulfillment comes from commitment to the journey, not just the outcome.

Trading does not need to feel fun in the playful sense but it should feel controlled and meaningful. Early on it can feel like a paid lesson where small losses teach structure patience and awareness. As capital grows seriousness naturally follows and worry appears because responsibility increases. That shift is normal and healthy. Problems start when people confuse excitement with enjoyment. Carelessness often hides behind the belief that profit is guaranteed.

People who trade constantly for thrill usually mistake activity for progress. More trades do not mean better results and often accelerate losses. When money at risk exceeds comfort stress replaces clarity. Trading as relaxation only works when rules limits and acceptance are present. Once pressure dominates it stops being sustainable. Calm comes from control not constant action.

To be honest there is more to trading which people are yet to unveil as trading most times can't be seen as something to be fun because it draws all focus and thinking where fear could grift such person on the process. What can be considered as fun is something one is doing without being tensed or in hot seat to meet up his requirement and catch up with the trade he is doing either on time or before he is being drained while trading. Fun should be what we do with easy, even without the fear of losing it at all cost or even what we do with our spare less valuable of funds or peanuts that we don't attached any meaning. Unlike trading that depends on input-output, meaning what you put is what you likely have in return while trading.

...Using it for fun keeps it enjoyable and never leaves you with mental disorderliness.

No matter how you feel about trading, you will not be able to protect yourself from mental disorders, naively believing that trading is entertainment. The only thing that will help you maintain your health in trading is compliance with risk management. It certainly won't be as much fun as the sex the OP is writing about, but it will definitely help keep a deposit.

[Muba20]

Trading can be fun for some people, especially if a new trader spends time learning trading, then trading can be considered fun for him. If some people trade with money that they do not feel any pressure to lose. If they use the money that they do not need to meet any basic needs, trading can be considered fun in all those cases.

On the other hand, trading involves money, which is why there is no scope for calling it fun. When someone trades, there is financial risk, human pressure, which is why there is no logic in accepting it as fun. If someone trades out of control, then he has to lose more money. He sometimes gets scared, which definitely reveals that trading is not fun.

Who does experience this health problems are daily traders who look at the screen everyday of their life, they sit on their work bench and focuses on trading charts for as long as they can daily. These sets of traders are exposed to mental health issues because of constant failures, meanwhile they didn't treat it as fun.

Although long term traders may experience the same issue but not as severe as daily traders.

I stopped reading in the middle because I couldn't quite get the reference about free capital, bitcoin lotteries? In this 2025 there is no free crypto other than a bunch of airdrop/bounty tokens which are pretty much useless since it doesn't have any real value.

There is a middle ground to it. You need to have fun so that you do not hate trading because if you hate trading then you are not going to get a good result. However, you can't just have anxiety and stress about it neither, you have to be more calm and fun. When you settle that down, you also cna2t just have fun and not care about anything neither, you have to learn about charts, indicators, and everything you need to know so that you can be a good trader when you are trying to make money.

[gunhell16]

All I can say is that trading is only 'fun' if we're constantly making a profit. But if we're always getting burned on our crypto assets in this field, it’s hard to keep saying that trading is still fun.

Your logic is like this: you see your kid is a great swimmer, but then they get a cramp and start drowning, and then you start shouting about how happy you are because your kid is drowning instead of asking for help. That’s how your logic sounds, OP. Honestly, I don’t know if you’re thinking normally or not.

How could trading continue to be fun when you're losing and can't help with the situation than to watch how your money evaporates into the sky for nothing, there are tough times in trading, because we can't always have it the right way and make profits each time we go into it, the risk lies on the losses we made, even though at that, we are expected to often have more of winning than losing on trades, just to make it all about fun to do.

Having the right knowledge about the market will solve everything. You don’t need to really want to fight losses because they’re inevitable, what you need to focus on and make the best out of is to learn how to become a trader and you’ll see that you’ll have more wins  than losses in all of your trades. Traders are all after wins, but sometimes the market plays a hard one on them and they’ve to just get use to it and maybe get things better for them to actually elevate their standard of trading. Trading is fun but it is more fun when we win in the game of trading.

What is trading becomes a demand to keep making profits so this becomes mental pressure to their psychology, how many people are stressed out by trading especially until all assets are liquidated due to futures trading, this is really not fun but scary if someone loses all their assets due to reckless trading.

[DaNNy001]

Trading is enjoyable only when you understand and benefit from it asides from that it can be very frustrating....I don't consider trading to be a fun activity even though I make profit from it, the reason why I say that is because it is a serious business for me that takes a lot of concentration, saying it is fun or entertainment is like comparing it to gambling and whereas it is actually not..it is a serious deal for me

That’s a very balanced and realistic take on trading bro. Enjoyment keeps you engaged and consistent, but calmness and emotional control are what protect you from impulsive decisions. At the same time, fun without discipline quickly turns into gambling, so learning charts, indicators, and risk management is what turns that enjoyment into sustainable results. The real edge comes from respecting both sides of the concept of trading with a clear mind while continuously sharpening your skill set. That how trading works the best for anyone.

[8rch7]

I don't know the mindset of OP when easily talking trading if fun, how possibility when position loss much money in trading but you still think is for fun only? Trading the same way like business, you invest with real money and get huge pressure when loss or your business bankrupt. I think its facing by the trader when position of their investment assets huge decreasing is not getting fun, if you change your word with enjoying the trading moment agree but trading is not for fun but the way how to earn profitable.
Trading could be fun when position consistent earning much profit but if your position get loss I don't think get have fun with trading, so stop about fun in trading because we use real fund or real money not using fake fund and demo account to trade in cryptocurrency.

[TheUltraElite]

Depends on how you define this fun. At least in sex you get some pleasure, but in trading you either make some money or you dont, the second one is not pleasurable but painful.

As long as we run spot trading, the gambling aspect in trading is kept away and that is safer.

Benefit from trading comes with time and experience, dont be in any sort of hurry here, similar to sex.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Everything someone does in this life will be fun as far as it is giving the results they want from it. So I agree that trading is fun, but the point is that it is only fun when you are making profit from it. If someone is losing, it can never be fun.therefore trading can be enjoyable and, at the same time, not enjoyable. It all depends on the response someone is getting from trading. For example, it has been a while since I made profit from trading, and honestly, I do not see trading as fun right now. It was fun when I was making profit; I was enjoying it then.So the OP can be right and at the same time be wrong. It all depends on the individual. Generally, trading should be fun.

Passion and money making made people to waste time to learn how to trade not for fun.

If a trader loses money, they will be angry and will try everything possible to recover from that loss, and if they gain profit from the trade, they look very happy because they achieve their aim, so why should we call it something of fun?

People play games for fun, some gamble for fun, but most traders trade for money. Anything that risk is involved and money is involved, it is not more something for fun, it is something we need to be very serious and cautious about because if we lack the knowledge, we will lose money.
