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 thought I was the only one who noticed that. I wanted to reply one of his post but I decided to hold myself back so we don't shift the discussion to another direction.
He might be successful in trader to be this passionate about it, I don't actually have a problem with that because so long as money is made, it is fine. But despite that, I will not abandon what is working for me and start chasing promises because trading thrives on promises.
I think a good number of the participants here are building for long time and not looking for some quick profits. This is actually what I feel is best for us because those who think that way get richer with time, at least from what we have seen unlike those trading who are constantly exposed to risk that can return their capital to ruins from a bad trading decision or one of those funny market behaviors that reason cannot explain.
