Your reasons for choosing trading
Question
What makes you want to work as a trader?
Short answer
Show informed, genuine motivation. Cite what appeals about the work itself (fast decisions under uncertainty, immediate feedback, quantitative thinking, markets), give evidence of sustained interest such as competitions, projects or market study, and show realism about the pressure and losses. Avoid money or excitement as the main reason.
