trading addiction.

[barbara44]

Trading addiction is treatable and the goal of recovery is not to avoid the market completely but to develop a balanced and healthy relationship with risk and emotions.

This is what others don't realize and they quickly lose hope. Most of their problems are not even as huge as others that are only calm and stay positive and thinks that the bad situation can shift soon. But in terms of the process of recovery from addiction, I think it is true that some involved not going back on the same habit again or activity once they cured successfully. Or even during the process, they already quit on it. That is hard to imagine, this is why I just choose to control my self to still do my thing or just endure the pain and losses if I get unlucky or if I get over board sometimes.

It is just like gambling because people trade or gamble to get rich overnight. When someone is addicted they do not care about the market situation but their goal is to take trades. This type of addiction is more common during times like the coronavirus pandemic when people try to do things online while staying at home. This addiction causes a loss of control and a complete loss of mental health.

Addiction are all the same though. But if being about trading and gambling, then both acts has a fine line, unless if the trading we mean is beyond spot trade already. In times like Corona Virus pandemic, it surely boring but people also look for ways to still have a profit. So I won't really blame them.

Trading addiction is not really common and we don’t see it as much as we see people getting addicted to gambling. Trading addiction doesn’t affect intelligent and smart people but rather helps them to become better than they were before. Being intelligent and smart gives you an edge over other many things that those that are not find it hard to get through gambling. Gambling is a game of luck while trading is not. Once a trader sees that they’re not getting it right, they quit rather than continue to want to trade and get their losses back which is not doable. When traders begin to trade aimlessly, they’re no more trading but have now joined the gamblers to gamble.

If people could get rid of their addictions that easily, they would have. I have seen people who had liver problems because of how much they drank, and still kept drinking, or people who used drugs, and overdosed. These people have more serious addictions of course, trading isn't that much of a big addiction.

But I have seen people who had gambling addictions which is closer than drug addiction, and they were incapable of stopping, that is the most important part of it that you need to see, the stopping, it's very hard.

Quitting addiction is never easy, but it is not impossible. If a person struggling with addiction has enough determination and support from other, along with changing their living environment and rebuilding daily habit. They can fully succeed in overcoming addiction.

As you said, drug and alcohol addiction can be even more severe and harder to overcome, yet many people still manage to quit successfully. Quitting trading addiction will become even easier.

trading starts to become addiction when your decision shifts from structured financial decision to something driven by compulsion, emotion and the need to get back all your losses.
‎some traders has ended up destroying their relationship with their friends and family because of trading addiction.
‎we really don't talk about trading addiction we focus more on gambling addiction but from what I have observed trading addiction is more dangerous than gambling addiction because it usually destroys very smart and intelligent persons.
‎why trading addiction is very dangerous is because you can be addicted and you won't even notice it because you may be thinking you are just putting in more work not knowing it's addiction.
‎
All traders pulse and reflect on your life you may be addicted already or about to, so you need to redirect your steps.

Gambling addiction and trading addiction do not begin because a trader makes mistakes driven by emotions. Those are ordinary mistakes that could often be avoided by following a set of rules.

This is exactly what I keep emphasizing: in trading, gambling, or any other activity that involves a significant risk of losing money, there should always be clear rules that guide your actions during periods of heightened emotional instability. That is often the only thing that can protect you from making costly decisions.

As for trading addiction, I honestly haven't heard much about it. I think this issue is more commonly associated with gambling than with trading.

[knowngunman]

‎we really don't talk about trading addiction we focus more on gambling addiction but from what I have observed trading addiction is more dangerous than gambling addiction because it usually destroys very smart and intelligent persons.

We talk less about trading addiction because people see it as a work unlike gambling. People see gamblers as lazy people who after quick money but see traders as hustlers who are working hard to make a living.

‎why trading addiction is very dangerous is because you can be addicted and you won't even notice it because you may be thinking you are just putting in more work not knowing it's addiction.

I agree with you on this. Trading addiction is silent and difficult to notice. You may be making profit but at the same time be an addict without knowing. The moment you start worrying about your loses and getting it back becomes your motive, you're not longer trading, you're just tossing your emotions.

Both trading and gambling addiction is dangerous, you will not think about your funds. If someone losing in trading, he should stop trading, not touch his account and leaves without recovering his lost, that is happens to some friends where they already lost in the down of the crypto market and deciding to stop trading for a while. They moves to others which can distract their attention so they can forget their lost in trading. It works for them, they can leaves trading and not thinking about their coin for some time. They just waiting for the re-bounce time on the market.

I see you only see trading as a loss and loss thing. Nope, there are those who survive on profit from trading. To people like that, "trading addiction" isn't addiction. It's great hustle. Why we tend to lambast addiction in gambling is simply because gambling shows more often in losses than gains. Only an infinitesimal few make money from gambling. Even for those who make money, there's no timing to it. That's, they don't know when next to expect a win. There are no guarantees.

This addiction causes a loss of control and a complete loss of mental health.

Whether it's trading addiction or gambling addiction, it is not easy to treat it or handle it because addiction is caused due to a lack of emotional control and greed, and someone who doesn't have any control over their emotions, they won't be able to get away from the addiction very easily.

Even though we could say that trading addiction is not as common as gambling addiction, because trading basically isn't as easy as gambling, because in gambling, all you have to do is decide the amount you want to bet, and press a button, and you get the results within a second. However, in trading, you have to understand everything properly to even begin with it.

One major reason for people getting addicted is when they make some profit initially. This happens in gambling mostly, when someone starts gambling, if they win something good in the initial sessions, they will feel like they can have the same results every time, so they keep doing it and even continue when they are not getting the desired results. The same thing can't be easily achieved in trading though, because in trading, to make profits, you will need to at least time your trades properly, and without knowledge, you can't do that. This is why trading addiction is not that common.

The main problem of the effects of trading addiction will be related to finances. Of course, it can be fixed, but the process of gaining confidence and trust from the people around us will be difficult. When you face financial problems, there is a tendency for the people close to you to also avoid you because they do not want to get involved with the problems you are facing. But of course, all addictions can be overcome.

Basically, gambling addiction and trading addiction share many similar signs. Examples include losing control of one's behavior, spending too much time and money on it, and neglecting work or personal health. Therefore, identifying addicts is not too difficult.

But the problem is that addicts rarely ever admit they are addicted. Only people on the outside can see the problem clearly, while the addicts often try to justify their behavior or believe that everything is still under control.

Trading addiction is not really common and we don’t see it as much as we see people getting addicted to gambling. Trading addiction doesn’t affect intelligent and smart people but rather helps them to become better than they were before.

You might think that trading addiction isn't that common because you have not encountered many people that have a problem with their trading activities unlike how the gamblers can be easily spotted but don't misunderstand what an addiction does to anybody that it is affecting. Trading addiction is as active as gambling addiction and we have many people that don't have any idea of what they are doing but they claim to be traders.

A lot of people in the market are amateurs and they all have addiction problem that is why the market can be easily influenced by just taking advantage of people's feelings. Many traders are just chasing the pump and selling as the market dumps but they have no idea what is happening as many of them can't even interpret what the market is saying on a chat. Most traders are losers and the statistics back this up, the traders can only be losers because most of them are addicted and don't even have any idea of what they are doing which is even a worse type of addiction.

There are not just one but many surveys and statistics show that over 90% to 95%, and in some cases even 97% of trader lose money

That shows that most of them are amateurs and even addict. But as you said, most of them will not admit it and will still claim to be trader. They believe that losses are an inevitable part of trading and allow themselves to repeat those losses without realizing that is exactly how an addict behaves.


Trading addiction is also very common and more serious because many people do not realize they are addicted.

[Olatundespo]

Trading as you have presented it is dangerous for those who use high leverage to make a lot of money in a short period of time. Trading is dangerous for those who do not consider this method risky. Trading is addictive for those who focus more on making profits than holding.

I do not consider trading risky if you do not expect high profits and use an amount of funds that is worth taking the risk. Not all gamblers are addicted to gambling, some addicted gamblers are seen because they have a rush to make money or a mental preparation to recover money after losses. Trading is a good source of income for smart and experienced traders. If you can apply your available funds to trading with discipline and proper management and not only in the short term but in some cases in the long term, you need to have this kind of financial preparation. Trading is not actually an addiction but new traders put their capital at risk by making immature decisions or feel the pressure to panic sell.

This is a complex topic because even though it might seem like there is such a thing a trading addiction there is actually nothing like that because for one to be able to achieve something substantial in trading that person must be consistently involved in it and this consistency is often mistaken for addiction. In my opinion there's no such thing as getting addicted to trading because if that were true it means that everyone trader is addicted. The word is consistency and not addiction, it's something that must be a regular routine.

[Bitcoin_people]

In trading, it is always very important to keep yourself in check, when a person leans towards excessive trading, it is dangerous. There are many people who trade constantly, they themselves do not know how they become addicted to trading. There are many traders who lose their money and later reach out to friends and family for money, when they feel reluctant to give money, their relationship with them is ruined. It is not possible to become addicted to both trading and gambling sites, those who are basically new do not understand how they get into it and at some point they cannot get out of it. That is why it is most important to control yourself and control your emotions in every case, moving forward with experience and skill. Therefore, in trading and gambling, you can never present yourself in a way where your emotions and control are lost, it is always better to trade within your own control.

Everything can be addictive, and anything tied to money tends to hit harder than most. Because it does not just affect emotions, it also taps into your greed.

I do not know what your concept of trading consistently means. But if you are experiencing symptoms like being unable to stop even when losing, trying to take revenge, becoming obsessed with it and neglecting work, family...and just wanting to trade more and more. It is very likely that you are dealing with addiction rather than any kind of consistent trading strategy.

I actually disagree with you. There is a risk of addiction in trading because if you engage in trading recklessly, your chances of losing money will increase. The greater the loss, the stronger the mentality of recovering that fund will be. If you have available funds you mental preparation to buy more coins and add to your portfolio without leaving them idle. I personally did this when I was involved in trading, and as a result, I lost more. There is such a mentality in gambling, so some consider short term trading risky. If you do not know about the risks of trading it is also risky just like gambling is considered and there is a possibility of addiction.

It is better to be consistent in long-term investments because when you keep buying, your Bitcoin holding will increase. Once you realize that long-term investment is more convenient than trading, such preparation will put you in a better position financially.

But is not also applicable with those who are trading as they could make profits while trading than how they makes while gambling. I must say gambling has the highest tendency of losing money than profits from gambling, but they all have same terms where they often says that people should be using the amount they can afford to lose to gamble than using higher amounts to trade and expect making higher profits from it. It may ends up the other way round where they could lose the money.

Addiction is something bad, and we should do everything possible to avoid any form of addiction because it can cause someone to make wrong decisions from time to time. Being addicted to trading is very dangerous because it can make a trader trade even during periods when they are not supposed to trade.When a trader continues trading at times that are not convenient or appropriate, he or she will likely face losses. Regarding their relationship with family and friends, you are right because trading often seems more important to them than anything else. If they are constantly focused on trading, they will hardly have time for their family and friends.Therefore, anything that causes a person to become addicted should be avoided. Addiction is very dangerous, and it has destroyed many people lives.
