A short YouTube monologue (by Kardec Trader) in which the speaker describes their love of trading and the specific thrill of placing trades and watching PNL fluctuate. The speaker explicitly compares trading’s emotional pull to gambling and suggests that some traders chase the thrill rather than disciplined outcomes.
My whole agenda was to trade. I love trading. The idea of putting on a trade, hitting the button. The buy noise comes in, the sell noise. You see a PNL go up or down, whatever. It's just a thrill. Like it was more of a thrill. A lot of people do that, where they enjoy the thrill more than anything, in my opinion. They'll keep putting on trades, they'll be down a thousand, they'll be up two thousand. The thrill you get from it is essentially relatively similar to gambling.
