I agree with your opinion and views, people are actually not afraid of trading, but they are afraid of the losses they receive because they have not mastered the knowledge of trading, due to their own carelessness it causes their own losses, therefore before starting trading it is better to learn first from other people. who are more senior and learn from leading scientists.
In the world of trading, everything requires a process and the process is not as easy as we imagine, there are advantages and disadvantages to each, when we start trading what we have to be strong is a consistent mentality, learn how to trade well in order to minimize the losses we receive, so it will be better. It is easy for us to trade because we are equipped with established knowledge before we start trading.
A person's fear of the losses they will experience when trading will of course make them never dare to try trading, so it would be better for those who already like trading, they can learn it slowly and they must really understand it. Well, after they can understand it well, of course they have to try it with a little capital first so they don't get traumatized by the possibility of losses the first time they try it.
Yes, to be able to reduce potential losses, of course we have to be able to master the trading we are going to do well, without a good understanding of trading it will certainly be difficult for us to make a profit from the trading we do.
