1.Trading is riskier than investing because the market is basically engineered to prey on traders. Short term positions are vulnerable to stop hunts, fake breakouts and liquidity grabs
In recent times especially now, when we are in uncertainty of if either we are still in the bull run or the bear season or no altcoin season and government notably Trump and his men manipulating the market. Traders are suffering, I'm often seeing huge amounts being liquidated and this is the reason I often don't like leverage, better still high or mid leverage.
This is the reason many would rate fundamental analysis over technical analysis, including traders. Also, there are no risk management for lower capital traders trading with less than $100. It will take a lot of patience not to be affected by the emotion to grow quickly especially after hitting a lost.
