    You wouldn't get addicted to trading forex.

    Because there is no currency war.
    And forex tends to move relatively little.

    You only get addicted to something good / attractive / positive.
    You will not get addicted to something bad / repulsive / sickening.

    Yes, it can be an addiction, which can cost you, both financially and emotionally. If that is happening, then you need to reconsider it.

    If you do not let it go in your head, then it should be fine, else it can become a bad addiction for your life and can mess your future course of action.
     
  8. Such an addiction is not connected to forex trading itself, it is just the desire to get your revenge on the market which will definetely destroy your trading budget.
    Trading can be an addiction if you treat it like a gambling, however, if you are a sober trader, you are likely to treat trading like a job.
    I wouldn't call such an attitude as an addiction, maybe it can be called a dependency on trading, just because of the fact that your overall income depends on your trading results.

    SURE could be \
    but i would have to actually get in that to be an addiction.:D:D I"M addicted to water + trading books so not all addictions are bad. I like the 4x ad, that the fine print notes ''you can not lose more than original investment'' LOL not sure why the stockbrokers dont disclose that=different markets, less leveraged.
    BUT then for TQQQ= ''not suitable for all investors, unique risk,generally not to be held overnite, so many big bank swaps , no wonder not suitable for all investors....................:caution::caution: WORST way to learn is use leverage, when all fails/\ think about that:caution::caution::caution::caution::caution::cool::cool::cool:

    It can be an addiction especially if you feel emotional response from losses and wins. When you become indifferent to it, it becomes a routine and helps you to focus on finding an edge instead.
