Money or Passion: Which Matters More in Your Stock Trading?

It is said that the dopamine release triggered by stock trading is much higher than that from regular recreational activities. Some people trade stocks purely out of passion, enjoying the sense of achievement and excitement that trading brings. Others trade stocks primarily to make money, as there are alternative side hustles that can also generate income. Of course, these two aspects cannot be entirely separated—it's just the relative importance of each that differs.

No, I don’t trade every day, though I’m always psyched to watch the market. I get pretty absorbed in following market movements, and when I try to predict trends, I sometimes find myself a bit addicted—it’s hard not to get emotionally invested, especially with money on the line [Cry] It can even affect my mood at times. That’s why I’m focusing on improving my risk management and emotional control. My goal is to approach trading with a long-term mindset, as I’m in it to build financial gains over time [Call]

Nope, I rarely do trading as my goal is more towards investing for long term. However, I do trade time to time for some extra pocket money if time and energy allows

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ In my opinion Both factors apply. Money is the key factor for the day to day life and growing your lifestyle  and on the other side, passion satisfy our inner peace so that we can gain more motivation and confidence in ourself. 🙏

To me, trading is about making money. However, I’m passionate to learn, research and share from my knowledge acquired. Trading is believed to be the most difficult profession as it requires discipline, consistency and patience. The toughest person to control is ourselves. I day trade everyday to feel the market sentiments and understand the tickers I’m working on. Trading is like dating, we get to know their personalities after awhile and ride the momentum together, but never get married to a stock ever! 😂 I’m interested to study the economic news, earnings calendar, geopolitical issues, Fed announcements, options flow, open interest, candlesticks and chart patterns to help justify my risks and rewards whenever I enter a day or swing trade as well as the appropriate time to exit to de-ri

I don't trade everyday not even every week. I trade 80% for money and 20% for passion.

I trade to test my skills, money is just an evitable outcome of my skills. I will strike a balance and do not allow trading to consume my time as watching in front of PC may result in me of not observing the big wave coming. @TigerPicks @Tiger_Comments @话题虎 @小虎活动 @CaptainTiger

Goal of stock trading is to generate some extra income and not lose money. Habit to login daily but cannot afford to trade frequently.

When I started as a Rookie, one of the things shared or "Preached " by some Gurus was making money 💰 Daily [Miser]. Wow 😳 I was wondering 🤔 so easy ah.... Must Try 😜. ... maybe FIRE 🔥 earlier 😔.... But I don't get Money 💰 But FIRE 🔥 on my ass is real and learned something called "Mr. Margin ". Thereafter, go Back to the drawing board and faced the wall 🧱. I decided that my current standard and understanding of the markets, skills, knowledge, etc. are not there yet to do this kind of trading. Current swing trading with TA setup has proven More suitable for me 😀. I estimate 80-20% for Making Money & Passion. Maybe 🤔 when I made lots of money 💰, then 100% Passion [Tongue] [Tongue]

I don’t try to do trades everyday but I will have some trades in the queue if the right set ups are showing from my screeners. That said, I don’t chase every trade. I’ll let the trades come to me like Animals that walk themselves into traps set by the hunter. My job is to check my trades to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to do and rectify the trades that are not. Part of the excitement is in the wait isn’t it? [Cool]

We trade stocks for Money and Passion.The dopamine release triggered by stock trading is very high and that makes stock trading an addictive activity. It is good news if one’s main motivation to trade is only to make money because there are other activities that one can make money without involving risk. It is risky when one trade stocks purely out of passion, enjoying the sense of achievement and excitement that trading brings. This high level of desire to “win the market” would affect one’s sense of judgement and discipline. It is very dangerous to be addicted to stock trading. I hope all my Tiger friends exercise discipline in their stock trading, making thorough research before trading any particular stock. Remember to DYODD i.e. Do Your Own Due Diligence, before each trade. Thanks

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ The Group ABBA released a song called Money, Money, Money in 1973. Suggest you listen to it & enjoy the song ! Money is relative, the more you have the larger your toys become. Money may well be the main driving force for many, unless you've Decided to approach your Trading / Investing from a differently Perspective.  Passion : The Latin origin of passion is " pati " meaning "suffer " Or strong liking or enthusiasm or strong feeling that clearly helps when obstacles are encountered, however , Trading & or investing should not be based on feelings or emotions. The approach taken could however be fourfold: 1. Driven by the pursuit of Money. 2.Driven by the pursuit of passion and or emotion. 3.Driven by Fundame
