Futures trading addiction is similar to any type of trading or gambling addiction. The trader starts entering the market in search of profit, but over time it turns into a continuous desire for risk and following through, even in the face of losses.
Reasons for addiction:
• The search for excitement and quick results.
• The effect of quick profits at the beginning.
• Trying to compensate for losses (revenge trading).
Symptoms:
• Constant thinking about trades.
• Risking large capital.
• Ignoring losses and not stopping.
Solution:
• Setting a clear trading plan and loss limits.
• Separating money from emotions.
• Consulting a psychological or financial specialist if things get out of control
