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.
Those influencers are doing this to increase their following. They want people to feel it's simple because they only supply winning trades and not failing deals. Some of them are not profitable traders because they are unable to give PnL. Newbie traders did not realize how crucial it is; they were simply enticed by their words and jumped into trades without enough understanding, which is a significant mistake in trading because it would only result in losses. They will only discover that they are being luted and that trading is difficult when they continue to lose money.
