Though there are people out there who are making millions in trading, did you remember that they're some people who can be considered as expert traders. But for the fact that they're expert in trading those not mean that they don't experience lose in the market. of course they do experience lose, but due to their strategies and also their level of knowledge towards trading always guide them from not experience much loses in trading. Though i have never seen a trader who makes millions in trading that's physically, but I guess I have seen some of them in the media though I don't know if those traders are actually saying the truth. But with the way they were talking about it I think is real.
There are many traders who can make millions of dollars and that is normal but the problem is to make millions of dollars they also need capital of millions or even tens of millions of dollars. Meanwhile, long-term investors can make millions of dollars with just a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars in initial capital. Honestly, I have rarely seen a trader who can do that, they can make millions of dollars and become rich with their modest starting capital. But many long term investors have done it and that is why I believe that trading cannot give better returns than investing.
