3. unrealistic expectations
Don't get manipulated by profits you see online. 100k profits on a trading account or a sport car. you will never achieve that with your $1000 account. understand that and be real with you.
These influencers that are flexing their profits or an individual are showing their profits. But they don't want people to know their losses, I guess a wise person would only believe that person if they're honest with everything which includes the losses.
But, for individuals, it's better not to share any details of what they do especially in profit because they won't know who's trying to catch them personally with those flexing and it could go wrong.
Trading could really result into huge profits but it won’t happen instantly, as it could mean a lot of losses at first before you can hit jackpot in trading. However, I understand those people who are bragging their profits from trading, it’s only their own techniques to attract newbies into trading. But if you are wise enough, you will never believe in quick easy profits as trading with huge profits will only be achieved through hardwork and patience all throughout the years.
