Trading is indeed an Addiction

[MacBookProHo]

Trading is an addiction, no doubt. How many traders keep getting sucked in

Its a tough game and this market is worse than 2008 and 2000-2002

99.2% of traders are failures,

But everyone still has that dream of making boat loads of money from the market at home by doing nothing. All easily and instantly. It's coming to Me. It's just around the corner. God Loves Me. And spending all that money on cool things like designer clothes, bags, shoes, watches, pets, cars, homes, YAY social media look at me, Holla,

Trading is an addiction, no doubt. How many traders keep getting sucked in and then having the market violently reverse? You need to constantly research the Markets and constantly come up with that one strategy that may just work. It usually never does in a bear.

The fed has no bullets- there is no floor.

Trading is an addiction to you because you don't have a solid trading plan or system. And I will tell you the economy right now is NOT worse than 2008 but are far better than any of the "bad" years from before. But if you have a solid trading plan/system, it should work in all market conditions, regardless of whether it's bull or bear.

I would suggest you to start working on designing a trading plan first and then stick to it when you trade.

Just trade on the side, you can do longer term trades like getting long BTC after the coming crash. Try to make money each day by working a little bit for a company.

It was so hot out today that this is what I saw on my Iphone for the 1st time.

yes trading is addictive. Some ppl treat it like a casino. and you know what....it is the greatest casino in the world!

do you know why? unlike a real casino, you can win as much money as you want and they can't kick you out!

If you can't find a strategy that works in bear markets ... you are not a trader. But yes you are an addict.

Water is an absolute need in order to live, an addiction is not. Addiction is a vice.
