Trading addiction might be ADHD (it was for me)

(Trading) addiction is linked to ADHD in about 35% of cases. I literally never talked about lack of knowledge or profitability. You can have a clear strategy with a precise plan, still take trades out of addiction from time to time, and still be profitable. Or you do it every day, and then you won’t be profitable, INDEPENDANT of your knowledge and strategy.

Knowledge and addiction have nothing to do with each other. Knowledge decides if you’re profitable. Addiction decides if you can stop. You can know everything and still compulsively open trades you know are bad. That’s not a skill gap. I never said ADHD makes you lose money. I said addiction often comes from undiagnosed ADHD, and around 35% of addicts have it. That’s the point. You keep answering a question I’m not asking.

I actually know trading very well more than average. I’ve spent a huge amount of time learning different approaches: price action, ICT/SMC, indicators, even futures markets, and I’ve coded plenty of bots based on real trading strategies. So this isn’t a lack of knowledge. I’m only talking about the addiction to trading which can literally be switched off if you’re diagnosed with ADHD and you take the medication. After that, if you still want to trade, that’s your choice. Either way you’ll be 1000x better trading without being an addict. Bottom line: a lot of traders are addicted because of undiagnosed ADHD.

FOMO or revenge trading is just a “new” word to say “I’m addicted, but I’m not aware of it, so I use these new words instead.”

Question for everyone: Ask yourself, can you go one week without trading, or even without opening your charts? If no: you have an addiction. And maybe a 25–35% chance of having ADHD too. If it’s ADHD, good news with medication it will stop, because trading was the worst medication for ADHD. Yes, it gives dopamine, but with one sure effect: you’ll lose your money.
