A trader with seven years of experience compares trading to a video game played alone, arguing the isolation and addictive gameplay attract people who already live that way. He warns against dependency and notes successful traders often have gaming skills.
After 7 years of trading, I'm kind of realizing that trading is the ultimate incel job. Like, you literally have to deal with nobody, no team, no angry customer, just you and a fucking computer and an internet connection like you were gaming. That's why it's so powerful and so risky at the same time. And that's why so many people get kind of addicted to it, you know. It's somehow like the coolest and riskiest video game in the world. And a lot of great traders I know are actually really good gamers as well. So be careful and don't get addicted to this shit.
