When trading becomes a passion, it's time to step back a little. Are you trading for the dopamine hit or are you trying to make money. For me it was a bit of both. Investing should be slightly boring for me . If I get my emotions and feelings involved I tend to not make a good return. I used my Tiger account for my risky dopamine fuelled trades, and yes my Savings account had a better return in the long run. Next year I am looking to do smaller, and more boring investments on Tiger Trade. Let's see how that will work. Happy Investing everyone !
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.
