Futures trading is more riskier and not a good place to start for newbies as you cannot control what’s coming whether you declared long or short.
It's a gamble, most beginners will have a hard time dealing with the market through futures trading. And they might even regret that they have tried futures trading.
There can be some of them that could see the potential of it but then, that's just it. The harder part of it is when they don't notice that they did it and they've just lost in an instant without knowing how it works.
This is truly happening in many traders because they think that it's as easy as what they are hearing from influencers or other traders that are sharing their experiences and profits from it.
