Top 15 Undeniable Reasons to Love Forex Trading

When it comes to trading, there are a lot of things that we love about it, we would not be trading if we didn’t love it after all. We are going to be looking at 15 of the reasons why we really love to trade and how those different loves affect our outlook at our trading.

1- You can make money.

Who doesn’t love this aspect of trading? The fact that you can make a little extra money, or even a lot of money is a real draw-in for a lot of people and it is for us too. For a lot of people, the fact that you can make money is the initial draw in and the reason why a  lot of people trade, if there was not an opportunity to make money then there would be far fewer people actually trading.

2- Anyone can do it.

The great thing about trading is that pretty much anyone can do it, of course, there are a few limitations like needing to be over the age of 18 and to have access to a computer or phone, but otherwise, there is pretty much nothing stopping you from taking part, brokers are accessible, the markets are too. If you want to trade, there is always a way of managing to do it.

3- It’s very accessible.

As with the above, trading is getting more and more accessible and it has never been easier to get involved. You only need as little as $10 or even $1 for some brokers to get started. You can also access it from anywhere that has an internet connection using a desktop computer, a laptop, or even a smartphone, heck even some fridges have the capability of doing it now too. If you want to trade, there are more than enough ways to get involved and it is very easy to get started.

4- You can do it on your phone.

As we mentioned above, your smartphone is not a full-fledged trading terminal, years ago people would never have thought that they would be able to trade on their phone, now you can. On the train, on the couch, on the toilet, no matter where you are, as long as you have your phone with you and an internet connection, then you can very easily start trading.

5- It doesn’t take long.

You don’t need to be sat in front of the computer to make trades, it can be done in a few minutes, of course when you are first starting out it will take quite a bit longer, and you need to do the initial learning, but once you know what you are doing, you can get through your trading pretty quickly. That is something that we love as we do not want to spend 5 hours a day putting on trades.

6- It provides good reading material.

There is a lot of information when it comes to trading which is great for those that have the time to read. You can read up on things pretty much anywhere you are and there will always be something new for you to read and learn about. No matter the sort of writings you like from fact to fiction, there will be some related to trading that will suit your tastes.

7- There is a great community.

The trading community is one of the best, once you get past the plastic traders or those trying to get other people’s money, the community is fantastic. They are always there ready to help, to share ideas, and to discuss different things related to trading and the markets. There are a number of different communities out there so it shouldn’t be too hard to find one that suits you. They are also a great place to let off steam and the frustrations from trading.

8- You can work from home.

One of the main draws for a lot of people is that you can work from home, you can choose your own times to trade, you can trade as much or as little as you want and you can have a nice lie each day. It is fantastic being able to trade from home and to avoid the long daily commute that you used to do when you worked your previous 9 to 5 job.

9- You don’t have a boss.

Most of us hate having a boss, it is something that pretty much any job comes with and it is something that we strive to get away from. Trading is the perfect place to get rid of your boss and to basically be your own boss. Lots of freedom to do what you need without someone peering over your shoulder is a fantastic feeling and one that trading can very much provide you.

10- There are a lot of assets to trade.

There are a lot of options and assets to choose from, you will always be able to find one to trade and one that suits your style of trading. If one is going slow, fund another, there will always be options. That is the fantastic thing about trading, there are currency pairs, oils, metals, stocks, and more to choose from, so you will always have things to do and it will always be exciting.

11- It’s never boring.

Trading is never boring, things are always happening and this makes it so good to trade. Just when you think you will have a quiet period, something will happen, a news event, a disaster somewhere, whatever it is it can really shake up the markets and move things about. Even when you have trades open, you will need to keep an eye on them simply because anything could cause the markets to move. Some currencies can be slow, but there are others that will certainly be doing something.

12- Helps you control risks in life.

A part of trading is risk management, if you’re able to do it during your time trading then you can certainly take that into other aspects of your life too. Take what you learn and start reducing the risks that you are taking in other aspects of your life too.

13- It’s a profitable hobby.

Hobbies often cost you a lot of money, trading is a little different, it can actually help you to make money, not many people can say that their hobby brings them additional income rather than costing it. It takes time and work, but it can certainly help you to make a little extra on the side.

14- You can trade at any time.

There are no limits as to when you can trade. You can trade first thing in the morning, late in the afternoon, or in the middle of the night, the markets are always open. They close over the weekends but otherwise, they are a 24/7 opportunity to make money that you certainly should be taking advantage of.

15- It provides a shot of adrenaline.

Trading can be exciting, it can really boost your adrenaline levels, especially when the trade is doing the right or wrong way, it can really pump us up and that is a great feeling, for many, it is what they trade for. If you find trading boring then you won’t get this, but for the rest of us, the excitement is enough, the money is a bonus.

Those are some of the reasons why we love trading forex and why you should too. There are of course more reasons out there, but these are the main ones that come to mind. Think about why you love trading, and keep that in mind next time you get frustrated or bored. We will always love trading, and so should you.
