However, being a victim of scammers could be an eye opener to everyone that in trading, you can't trust no one but only yourself. So trade with knowledge and skills, and with the right attitude to trade, so you won't end up quitting in trading just like most of the newbies have decided to.
No, you can trust some people. You have to. You deposit funds in an exchange to trade don't you? Then you have to trust the exchange.
Avoiding scams isn't about simply blind distrust, but about recognizing greed and carelessness. Most people get scammed because they want something so bad or are just too careless.
My first trading time it happens that you suddenly get big profits so you start quickly without realizing it. I first started trading by watching a YouTube video but it was a loss then I practiced trading from this forum and got many ideas. But beginners always make the mistake that they rush into trading after seeing the basic profit amount of the second person which results in their losses being high so in my opinion one should not be too hasty with the first time trading.
Make your mind up man. First you say your first trading time gets big profits. Then you "start trading" and got a big loss.
If you want to spam at least make sense.
