"treat it as a game"??

It is a game by definition!! The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines game as:
1) activity engaged in for diversion or amusement
2) a procedure or strategy for gaining an end
3) a physical or mental competition conducted according to rules with the participants in direct opposition to each other

If trading does not fit the bill, I don't know what does. I personally prefer #1, trading for the joy of it.

One could of course define trading as a kind of WAR.... For example, war for one's self esteem or identity.
I feel that such negative definitions have very adverse effects on trading accounts. Experience QED.
