"...she had almost lost her entire trading account in a trading shop where they had tried to turn her into a soes bandit..." People who are new to the market feel the adrenaline pump because they don't know what they are doing and the big fight/flight response to winning and losing money is terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. If they are there because of gambling urges, it will never go away, since they are not there to make money, by definition. They stop when they blow out. For the few who learn to trade and survive, using whatever technique plus proper risk and money management rules, it just becomes a boring, snoring job, with the occasional spanking, when we start to think that we are smart! But overall, trading is still better than anything else, I think, if one has the right personality for it. T.
