I find myself wondering today what the goal of most trader's are.

Mostly I would love to get some feedback from the community as to why they trade and what they want to accomplish.

Myself, for the longest time I traded with the wish to manage money someday. But after working hard towards that goal for a long time and finally doing it for some time, it was clear to me it wasn't something I wanted to do.

I overlooked the fact that when you manage other people's money, they often influence the way you trade. Extra pressures come in place, and generally you trade different as all of a sudden there is focus on things like stats, average draw down, monthly expectancy etc. In short, I much prefer to trade for myself.

Now I trade, purely because I enjoy what I do. I can't imagine any other profession that I could be as passionate about as trading.

What about you? why do you trade? do you want to manage money? would love to hear from you!
