Is Forex an Addiction ?

Sometimes traders don’t even realise that they are addicted. Forex trading can become an addiction and lead to mental exhaustion that affects the trading decisions.
Forex trading brings with it a lot of excitement and a rush of adrenaline much like big highs when you win and lows when you lose. This emotional roller coaster ride can be extremely addictive and can make you lose money when you start chasing the market. This is why you must not enter the forex market without an exit strategy.
Forex trading can turn into an addiction if you lose control over your mind, trades, money, and risks. If you think that you're getting addicted to trading, set your limits and don’t trade beyond that. Also, find a new hobby to distract your mind and relax whenever trading seems to be going overboard.
If you don’t keep a check, forex trading can become an addiction just like alcohol. This can cause exhaustion and can make your mind tired which can further lead to bad trading decisions. Traders also get involved in revenge trading after making a loss that can become an addiction too.
Been there done that but gradually, i tried to control my emotions and focused more on enhancing my knowledge and developed patience.revenge trading after making a loss that can become an addiction too.
after having good knowledge there is no way to control emotions completely,because its a complete human nature.
Traders should be able to keep a check on their emotions. Traders should withdraw themselves from trading if they think they are unable to control their emotions.Can say! Money smells like a addiction when you are doing things as they planned but over doing will do exact same with double the speed. So control the emotions and trade. Don't stop but do it wisely!
It can be! All of it depends on how you react to losses and wins. Some traders fail to accept losses and get into revenge-trading, while there are other sections of traders who start overtrading. You should trade in your limitations.
