Many of us are lured into the world of forex trading because of the potential to score big bucks, along with plenty of opportunities to exercise one's brain and will.

Just because you like trading, doesn't mean you're addicted to it. When you know you should be doing something else, yet you're trading ... that's a problem. Not knowing when to stop. Addicts live in overdo-regret cycles. Overdo, regret. Overdo, regret.

it's an addiction and a vice when you lose.
it's a passion and a career when you win.

Nope but I found the beauty and passion of trading, and learned to get a grip. Before I was addicted to making money in trading, so I would jump the gun and trade just to trade.

For me it is the opposite. Before I found the method I am using now which has brought me some success (I think) I was addicted to searching for a method. Now I am bored to even look for setups. I am addicted to searching for further improvement to that method. I think this is also bad because I find my self often disinterested in trading and after few days I notice I have passed plenty of good opportunities.

I know when to stop, it means that I'm not addicted
