Scaling Up: Larger amounts of money provide more opportunities to achieve significant returns.

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Definitely MONEY!  I won't call it stock trading as it sound very speculative but I will term it as stock investment - a good old way to accumulate wealth over time.  When you gain the MONEY - that's when you can spend in things that you are passionate about - like travelling, food and contribute to charity.

      Money or Passion: The Eternal Dilemma of the Stock Trader

      I sat back in my leather chair, the warm glow of my trading monitors reflecting off a glass of single malt perched delicately beside me. The day’s charts had been a symphony of green and red, the heartbeat of the markets pulsing with its usual intoxicating rhythm. Yet, even as I reviewed my trades—a mix of swift victories and the occasional humbling defeat—an age-old question nagged at the edge of my mind: In stock trading, what truly matters more—money or passion? It’s a debate as old as the markets themselves, whispered in the corners of trading floors and debated over drinks at exclusive investor summits.

In the book Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill, the very 1st lesson is to have a strong desire to be successful. Without passion, we would not be able to last too long on this investment journey, let alone accumulating wealth. At some point, our passion might diminish due to whatever reasonsl so it's up to us to always fan the fire in us to keep us going. Happy trading everyone [Miser]

For myself, the motivation is about 70% financial growth and 30% the intellectual thrill of decoding the market’s patterns. It’s like piecing together an intricate puzzle 🧩 where each stock’s pattern offers a clue to its next move. Patterns are my compass, guiding me to identify potential price action and pinpoint lower-risk entries and exits. They don’t just reveal numbers, they tell a story about market sentiment and behaviour, often outpacing fundamentals. After all, while balance sheets provide the rearview mirror, patterns give you the GPS for what’s ahead.🛰️ I’ve especially loved diving into small-cap stocks recently, particularly d

      No, I don't trade every day because my focus is more on mid- to long-term investments. Daily volatility isn't a concern for me; I prefer to evaluate stocks based on their long-term potential rather than short-term fluctuations. For me, trading is primarily about making money. While I may enjoy the process to some extent, my motivation comes from the financial rewards. If I lose money, the passion fades, as there's no excitement in losses. However, when I make money, it fuels my interest and motivates me to continue learning. So, making money drives me, and the passion follows from those successes. I think this is the difference between me and more passionate traders. For some, passion and profit are linked, creating a positive cycle. But for me, it’s mainly about financial goals, and tradi

      We trade stocks for Money and Passion.The dopamine release triggered by stock trading is very high and that makes stock trading an addictive activity. It is good news if one’s main motivation to trade is only to make money because there are other activities that one can make money without involving risk. It is risky when one trade stocks purely out of passion, enjoying the sense of achievement and excitement that trading brings. This high level of desire to “win the market” would affect one’s sense of judgement and discipline. It is very dangerous to be addicted to stock trading. I hope all my Tiger friends exercise discipline in their stock trading, making thorough research before trading any particular stock. Remember to DYODD i.e. Do Your Own Due Diligence, before each trade. Thanks
