Futures trading is similar to gambling, don't do it if you don't want to lose especially if you don't have the skills.
If you want to be safer then it is better to invest, you will not lose as long as you do not sell halfway and accumulate with the DCA method this is one of the best ways to collect bitcoin you will not think harder like trading by investing you will be a little calmer.
Trading is risky just like gambling but trading is nothing compared to gambling. In gambling, you will always need luck, but in trading, you can solely depend on your expertise and flourish in it if you know your way out. But the issue with people is that they do not know how to trade but are just forcing things, this is why you can even compare trading with gambling Still, what I agree with you on is that people can resort to investing instead of trading as a less risky option. But it still has to be strictly engaged, otherwise, an investment could be silently more dangerous than trading at times. DCA is also a very good investment style but we should not let it enter our heads as a safe haven for investment as it on this thread. The right application is key.
I have come across series of your replies in this thread and some other threads and I can see your energy is more focused on trading than investing and instead of it to look as if you are going in contrary to the discussion and opinions of others in this thread, why not you channel this your trading energy to the trading discussion board because that is where you will gain more recognition instead of trying to create an impression about trading in a place where majority are kicking against it because most of the people that doesn't want to be associated with anything trading might have been victims to trading and applied the right techniques just like you are trying to say but at last they still ran into series of losses.
I have been a victim to trading loss in the past but even though I wasn't an expert as you said but I was following up with someone who is so experienced about trading but within those periods I followed signals and all that, I lost real money because it wasn't as easy as it seems to be and it is even worst when someone teaches you trading using a demo account because it is just like setting a trap for you to lose when you try real trades. Someone like me who have witnessed such unfair situation do you think I would give a listening ear to anyone talking about trading again? Never
I just see that people who are mostly talking about trading are just some petty traders that invest low amount of money such that if they lose, it won't affect them at all but for someone who have lost thousands of dollars, it will be a crime for anyone to tell them anything about trading. Even though there people who still talks about how trading has helped them but you should know that trading doesn't favour majority of traders so it is better to invest on something that you will be at ease and your mind would be at rest, you are not pressured to invest and in time coming you find out you have grown a huge portfolio in it.
