Symptoms of this addiction, according to Family Addiction Specialist, include constantly checking the prices online — particularly in the middle of the night.
When I saw that part, I was like "How lucky I am that I'm still not experiencing this kind of addiction still."TBH, this is the kind of addiction that I see that has some benefits or at least there are some good things that you can get by getting addicted into it (maybe). I mean for short term traders, futures traders and those scalpers, they look at the charts constantly because a small move of the market will be huge for them especially for futures traders because a move = either profit or loss to them, but the difference is that, these traders are only trading for a few hours only. An addicted into trading is they are constantly looking at the chart and when I say constantly, maybe around once or twice every hour or 30 mins maybe.
There is a famous quote which is "Too much of anything is bad" so too much looking at the charts can really lead you to addiction. I'm a bit curious on why investors are constantly looking at the market?
