trading is not games, trading is a job but you can make it as fun to avoid stress in trading
trading is related of emotion. Trading is not easy to make of money.

Trading is basically a game of probability. Fun? Of course it is but only when you make big profit everytime. Trading is a serious thing because you risk your money.

I feel so if the people are ambitious and enjoy what they are doing then its a fun for them. Its like your living you passions and working for it.  I invested so high capital in it I don’t afford to take it as fun and game I am taking it seriously and it might be a fun or game for those who are well experienced and those who don’t fear to fail but a mediocre investor like me always think before making decision

There's no fun happening on me on tradings since it so hassle to watch for the price movement and its so technical for me to see how things would work if I apply some strat on my trades nor what would be the outcome if I would for further more whether the pump started. Its not a game but for some for those who don't take for being serious regarding with this in trading or in gambling it is much better if you take it as a game but enjoying this while your in market

Trading is fun only for those who are not involved in any money problems or who have never ever been through financial crisis. But those who work day and night hard to grab bitcoins for them, trading are a serious job with a lot of risk. Like OP quoted, trading is dealing with internal enemy. Internal enemies that block traders from what really is out there, that makes them misinterpreting the informations leading to various bias

As they say, "" it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye"". In this case, it's all fun and games until you lose an s***ton of money. You must be serious when it comes to crypto trading. No excuses whatsoever! Remember, "" The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus".

Trading is serious job but you have to enjoy it otherwise makes no sense. Maybe is the best if you look at it as a sort of game you are playing to winn. Risk is always connected with trading but if you take it too seriously it might get a frustration for you. Just place your limits and enjoy, don't be too obsessed with profit.

If you want to make some serious money you need to consider trading as a serious job , there are huge amounts of money moving in it and when the numbers go up , you can't take it as a fun unless you don't care if you lose it!

It is fun when all of your efforts are paid off. It is good to know how much money you raised in your investment. But if you find losses, trading is not fun anymore..

“One thing very good traders have is insight into themselves.” - Chris Tate


FUN AND GAMES
Recently Louise Bedford and I have been doing the Short Term Trading Magic seminars in a few places and it has been sometime since I did any form of presentation on a semi regular basis. As such it has been interesting to observe people as they work through various trading issues.

One of the things I have noted is that people take trading far too seriously and this is reflected in a form of desperation. Desperation is the antithesis of the state of mind you need to be in to trade effectively.

There is no deny that this is a phase everyone enters at some stage in their career but to be successful you need to move beyond this and begin to treat trading as the game that it is. Once I started treating trading as a game then it became so much easier on the soul and my results reflected this. I even have a t-shirt that says that the fewer fucks I give the more I make.

This is not to say that I am reckless but rather that I am in no way wedded to the outcome of any trade. At its core my life will not change if a trade or even a cluster of trades are winners or losers – they are simply not that important. When compared to real life, trading is nowhere near as important as people think it is.

It is often commented that children are better are learning new things than adults who seem set in their ways. I am not so certain that this is a reflection of any great cognitive superiority or plasticity that the young may have but rather a reflection of their willingness to be both wrong and to play. Young children have no ego therefore the mistakes that their play generate have no impact upon their sense of self-worth. As adults we lose this resilience because we believe that it is somehow catastrophic to our self-image if we do make mistakes.

But in trading your mistakes are your own – no one else can see them so you are insulated from the judgment of others. This isolation gives you the freedom to be wrong but the only thing you have to cope with is your own judgment.

 Markets are a wonderful universes for exploration and for play. The presence of micro contracts in various instruments and online trading mean that you experiment very cheaply.

The price of admission to the fun park is much lower than it used to be and the number of rides has gone through the roof. It is a shame that more traders don’t view trading as little more than a theme park where you can play to your heart’s content and during the process of playing you learn much more than you would if you were consumed by seriousness and desperation.

More trading quotes are below:

“To my way of thinking trading is an internal endeavour – there is no external enemy who you can deceive or overpower since markets only exist in the most ephemeral way inside your head. Markets may appear to be physical constructs but they are largely an illusion, trading occurs inside your head where your own perceptions and distortions of reality influence your decision making.” – Chris Tate

“The one thing you shouldn't feel pressured about is trading. If you do feel that way, you probably need to take a step back and reassess. Pressured trade(r)s don't make good trade(r)s.” – Joe Ross

I do not think trading is like a game, trade needs a huge knowledge to be able to argue and analyze the chart of the market. There are many people who have to pay for trade courses. We trade to make money, not play a game

I see trading as a very serious source of income and it is a little bit fun but i don't see it as a game because when say that it is a game then you are not being serious with it and you are just using it because you are having fun and you don't mind for the possible results of your trading. So if you really want the best result with it then try putting a lot of attention to it and try to work hard and be serious with it.

Every people have different thoughts. If you think trading is fun, then it goes to be a game for you. Seriously, some investors think that this is not a game or fun for them. They invest a lot of money, some of them fail to earn, but some of them earn a lot of money. Only you can decide if trading is a game or take it seriously.
Oh it depends on though of each person ,because trading is not a easy job to get approached. It is  full of risky, you definitely face with many difficulties from first time till you can take it as a hobby. Some people who used to get benefit from trading ,surely they feel trading is fun and even it’s just like a game. In contrary, some got failed, they absolutely didn’t have good mood. To me, I really like to trade, it may be my passion because I find it interesting to trade in this crypto market.
Honestly, sometimes I feel trading like a game but until I got loss, I never think it as a game again.
You can not understand the thinking of investor lost many money by trading.
You will never think trading as a game and for fun again if your life depend on the result of your trading so much.
This is my experience after lost on market and check the mentality of others.
Thinking it is a game only makes us not so focused on winning or losing, more precisely, we are subjective in the process of analysis and thinking, and of course, the result we get is that we lose a lot of money in trading. Mood is not good when we fall into this situation, we will realize the price to pay for the fun and games, it is too expensive for us, I also know this after I have a big loss, and that always reminded me that I need to focus and think this is a job to make money, fun is impossible, thinking this just makes me prematurely bankrupt

I didn't see trading as fun and games at all. Cause everything that can make money, it already becomed business, and in business there is no fun and games. Only there is an opponent to fight, goal to reach and money to make. Fun doesn't give you money to pay for your needs. So when you're in trading, try to do everything seriously.

Yes, the concept of trade is a cheerful and serious game. We have to make the wise decision under any circumstances.
From it we can be able to answer immediately and to make more favorable situation which will result us in glory of success.

Most people stay calm and have fun when they are not too serious. Like OP quoted, trading is dealing with internal enemy. Internal enemies that block traders from what really is out there, that makes them misinterpreting the informations leading to various bias. It can lead to bad decisions. And I think having fun while taking things not too seriously can lead to better decision making. The only problem is financial situation of the trader. If they are desperate to make a profit, or their financial situation needs to be so, it will be really difficult not to take things too seriously.

Trading is not fun or like games. It takes time and effort, you need to be serious in trading. Because in any second you may lost lot of bitcoins. Being a trader, you need really to control your emotions specially when you are in loss. You need time to analyze the charts or candles. It's not fun when you have loss, but I find happy when I can see greens in my blockfolio.
