Trading Addiction



Why does trading become addictive? When we hold a heavy position during a trade and eventually make a big profit, our brain releases dopamine, generating excitement and pleasure.

So in order to let our brain experience this feeling again, what actions do we take? The answer is simple: we keep opening positions, keep holding positions, and completely forget all trading plans and market analysis.

This is why human beings are affected by random rewards - excessive excitement.
