I am happy to finally see people posting good about this. You are also right. But did you know that 80% of traders are losing? I have read more than 10 researches that make me make that conclusion. The results in those researches are similar. That most traders are losing. The result of trading is much more like the results of the researches on gambling.
Same here. Salaried job is not the same as self employment, and trading... as I pointed out above posts, a lot of people trade without the same discipline or investment as a job, so I don't really consider them the same. I was trading years and never said it was my job so I think anyone who's offended by it needs to look in the mirror.
And good point you brought up about 80%. I talk about it ALL the time. It's not a fixed number but for sure 80% is not a far estimate and this is from NORMAL trading (forex, stocks etc).
I bet you crypto traders are even worse as most of them are gambling on shitcoins and scams you would see very less of in stocks/forex.
