I have spent yesrs arguing with myself and others over this question. In the end, reality resolved it for me.
This is the story of my eight years as a day trader.

One of the most important factors in any form of trading is knowing exatly why you have chosen this tricky path.
I took it for all the wrong reasons and the results weren't pretty.

I value my time...my free time more than money. Because being able to do what I need to do or want to do is what Freedom is about. You don't need to be stuck to a computer in order to make money. So Forex among other things can offer that freedom, if done properly. But let's put that in perspective. Most people own a "smartphone" and most spend their days checking their FB, Twitter, Instagram...not to mention whatever other social site. And for what? Status, entertainment, "socializing?" I'd rather spend some hours a week earning money at my leisure....
Well said, it's nearly impossible to become successful in trading and remain the same

First of all, I think it would be very hard to be successful as a trader if you didn't believe in what you do. For me personally this has been very true.

I have grappled with this for years and have finally (I think) made my peace with making money in this way. The way I see it, the calmer I am, the more money I make. Also, I make money in this way in order to have a better quality of life for me, my family and the people around me. I spend very little time in front of a screen and so have the time to be there for others.

The fact that I make money while others lose? Well that is the same in life. Many lives have been lost so that we may live. It happens every single day. Millions of bacteria are dying in your guts every day.

Our only responsibility is to live and love.

It seems to me that this is a topic that can be talked about just infinitely. Actually, the main value in trading is you. Because it is you who must find the strength to learn and constantly work on yourself. You will need a lot of time and energy in order to work constantly, to analyze the situation, to look for entry points that can bring you potential income. Start-up capital, strategies, indicators, signals are already tools that you can use for this. But for me it is still difficult to hear someone calling trading as some kind of entertainment, which in principle can bring you income. No, that's not true. It's a lot of work on yourself.

What's the Value In Trading?
To grow capital.

Not sure what other value there would be. It is what you do with the capital you grow that raises other value questions that may or may not be mysterious. But, as far as trading is concerned, there is but one purpose and one purpose only: Growth of Capital.
