Why do you trade?


Hi traders!

A friend of mine has asked me to help her find online traders for her school research.
To be able to go further, she has a few questions. Would you guys be so kind to help her out?

1. How old are you?

2. How often do you trade on average?
(e.g. Daily, weekly or yearly)

3. How long have you been trading?

4. How were you introduced to online trading?

5. What is your motivation to trade?
Could you explain your motivation? Where did it come from and why?


Appreciate your time! Thank you!!

Tired of working 14-16hr days, of physical labor. Feeling like my mind is going to mush. Would rather use my brain, and at least have the potential to make a lot more money... $15/hr isn't a terrible wage by any means, but if I want to have any sort of worthwhile retirement, I need to start making a lot more (so I can put more away in a 401K or something)
I am trading forex for two years and have good experience in Forex. Forex has great potential of making good money if you have knowldge and skills.
I am trading in Forex because i have no other job and i want to earn some money for my family and other needs. Forex is a good source to make good money.

Not too sure. Have imbibed oceans of beer through different epochs. Trading since the Pleistocene Era - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene

2. How often do you trade on average?
(e.g. Daily, weekly or yearly)
Hourly actually. Still using a dial up modem ... but my tech guy says if I co-locate it, all will be well.

3. How long have you been trading?
Since birth. Read "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" while in the womb - https://www.amazon.com/Reminiscences-Stock-Operator-Edwin-Lef%C3%A8vre/dp/0471770884

4. How were you introduced to online trading?
A guy named Andy told me it was a piece of cake as I watched him bank $27k in a day while wearing a T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops and on a speaker phone with a guy in another city discussing the finer points of mountain biking.

5. What is your motivation to trade?
Could you explain your motivation? Where did it come from and why?
Motivation ... hmmm? Probably an Oedipus Complex issue that I don't remember and can't quite put my finger on. As to where it came from and how? At the age of 7 I wanted to ditch my dad and marry my mom and chunk the fam fortune into that fruit company that Forest Gump alluded to.

Appreciate your time! Thank you!!
Thank you. I'm MonkeyMeat ... and I approve this message.
I think it is a somewhat illogical question, obviously we trade to make money.
