It's a terrible story.
Recently, I've been thinking about how trading is similar to gambling... Yes, on the exchanges there is an opportunity to lose your entire deposit very quickly, as well as the opportunity to earn a lot. I think the boundary that distinguishes reasonable trading on the stock exchange from gambling is the kind of leverage a trader trades with. You need to be careful not to use Leverage at all. The desire to speed up my trading in such a way is detrimental and I always trade without leverage and only with personal money.
